The Cold Slither set boasts 6-inch figures of Zartan, Ripper, Buzzer, and Torch, all geared up for their Band of Vipers World Tour concert. Accompanied by 29 accessories, including a variety of musical instruments such as a guitar, bass, keytar, and drum set, the set's packaging even replicates the iconic Springfield Theater.
This exclusive box set will be available at San Diego Comic-Con, running from July 24-27, 2025. Following the event, limited quantities will be offered on the Hasbro Pulse website.
For fans who appreciate a nostalgic touch, Hasbro is collaborating with Super7 to introduce Cold Slither Zartan in the Super7 ReAction+ line. This 3.75-inch figure, crafted in the style of the classic A Real American Hero toys, features O-Ring construction and vintage-style packaging. It glows in the dark when exposed to UV light and comes with microphone and guitar accessories. Priced at $20, the figure will be available for preorder on the Super7 website starting April 3 at 9:15am PT.
Hasbro is fully embracing the musical theme by releasing a real Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album, set to launch in 2025, will feature 10 electrifying tracks, including the self-titled anthem "Cold Slither," blending intense guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and catchy choruses.
