The set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, fully equipped for their "Band of Vipers World Tour" concert. Over 29 accessories are included, featuring musical instruments like a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum kit. The packaging itself is designed to resemble the Springfield Theater.
This exclusive set will be available only at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27, 2025). Limited quantities will be released on the Hasbro Pulse website after the convention.
For fans of classic G.I. Joe figures, Hasbro and Super7 are collaborating on a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure. This 3.75-inch figure, reminiscent of the original A Real American Hero toys, features O-ring construction, vintage packaging, and UV-reactive glow-in-the-dark capabilities. It also includes a microphone and guitar.
The Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure is priced at $20 and will be available for pre-order on the Super7 website starting April 3rd at 9:15 am PT.
Hasbro is further embracing the musical theme with the release of an actual Cold Slither album in partnership with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album description reads:
"In 2025, Cold Slither, the legendary heavy metal band from G.I. Joe lore, unleash their highly anticipated debut album. Showcasing the phenomenal self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album delivers 10 electrifying tracks blending scorching guitar riffs, powerful rhythms, and irresistibly catchy anthemic choruses."
