The set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, ready for their world tour. It boasts 29 accessories, including instruments like a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum kit. The packaging even replicates the Springfield Theater!

This collectible set will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27, 2025). Limited quantities will be released on Hasbro Pulse afterward.

For fans of vintage G.I. Joe, Hasbro and Super7 are collaborating on a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure. This 3.75-inch figure, with O-ring construction and retro packaging, glows in the dark under UV light and includes a microphone and guitar.

The Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure ($20) is 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 an actual Cold Slither album, in partnership with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album features 10 tracks, described as: "In 2025, Cold Slither, the iconic heavy metal rock band from G.I. Joe lore, are releasing their highly anticipated debut album. Headlined by the phenomenal self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album delivers 10 electrifying tracks that blend searing distorted guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and irresistibly catchy, anthemic choruses."
