IGN has an exclusive first look at Hasbro's latest G.I. Joe Classified Series addition, and it's a rockin' revelation: a box set featuring Cobra villain Zartan and his Dreadnoks as the heavy metal band, Cold Slither!

The G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither – Band of Vipers action figure set is inspired by a classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero episode and will be a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive this summer. See the incredible detail in the image gallery below:

This set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, fully decked out for the Band of Vipers World Tour. With over 29 accessories, including a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum set, this set even recreates the Springfield Theater on the packaging!

This box set will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27, 2025). Limited quantities will be available on the Hasbro Pulse website after the convention.

For fans of classic G.I. Joe, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to release a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure. This 3.75-inch figure, featuring O-ring construction and vintage packaging, glows in the dark under UV light and 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 taking the musical theme even further with the release of an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album features ten 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."
