This collector's item includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, ready for their "Band of Vipers World Tour" concert. The set boasts 29 accessories, including instruments like a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum kit. The packaging itself is designed to resemble the Springfield Theater.

This set will be available exclusively 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 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's commitment to the musical theme extends to the release of an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album, featuring the title track "Cold Slither," promises 10 tracks of heavy metal energy.
