G.I. Joe Goes Heavy Metal in Hasbro's Incredible Cold Slither Box Set
IGN gets an exclusive first look at Hasbro's latest G.I. Joe Classified Series offering: a rockin' new box set featuring Zartan and the Dreadnoks as the heavy metal band, Cold Slither.
This action figure set, titled "G.I. Joe Classified: Dreadnoks Cold Slither - Band of Vipers," is inspired by a classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero episode. It's a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive this summer (July 24-27, 2025). The gallery below showcases this impressive collection:

The set includes 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, complete with concert attire and over 29 accessories, including instruments like a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum kit. The packaging itself is designed to resemble the Springfield Theater.
While supplies last at SDCC, limited quantities will be available on Hasbro Pulse after the convention.
For fans of vintage G.I. Joe, Hasbro and Super7 are collaborating on a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure. This 3.75-inch figure, featuring O-ring construction and retro packaging, glows in the dark under UV light and includes a microphone and guitar. Pre-orders start April 3rd at 9:15 AM PT on the Super7 website, priced at $20.
Hasbro is taking the musical theme even further with an actual Cold Slither album, a collaboration 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."
