For fans who cherish a more nostalgic feel, Hasbro is partnering with Super7 to release the Cold Slither Zartan in their ReAction+ line.

The figure glows in the dark under UV light and includes microphone and guitar accessories. Priced at $20, it will be available for preorder starting April 3 at 9:15am PT on the Super7 website.
Hasbro is fully embracing the musical theme with the release of an actual Cold Slither album in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. Here's the official description:
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.
