The G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither - Band of Vipers set features 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all styled for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. The set is packed with 29 accessories, including musical instruments such as a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum set. The packaging itself is a nod to the Springfield Theater, adding an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia.
This exclusive set will be available at San Diego Comic-Con, taking place from July 24-27, 2025. Limited quantities will also be offered on the Hasbro Pulse website following the event.
For fans who cherish the classic G.I. Joe style, Hasbro has collaborated with Super7 to introduce a Cold Slither Zartan figure in the ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure, designed with O-Ring construction and vintage packaging, captures the essence of the original A Real American Hero toys. It glows in the dark after UV light exposure and includes microphone and guitar accessories. Priced at $20, it will be available for preorder on the Super7 website starting April 3 at 9:15am PT.
Embracing the musical theme, Hasbro is also releasing a Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album, set for a 2025 release, features 10 electrifying tracks, including the self-titled anthem "Cold Slither." This musical venture blends searing guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and catchy choruses, bringing the G.I. Joe lore to life in an entirely new way.
