The set boasts an impressive 29 accessories, including a guitar, bass, keytar, drum set, and more. Even the packaging is designed to resemble the Springfield Theater.

For fans of classic G.I. Joe figures, Hasbro and Super7 are collaborating on a Cold Slither Zartan ReAction+ figure.

It 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 embracing the musical theme further with an actual Cold Slither album, in collaboration with Reigning Phoenix Music. The album description:
"In 2025, Cold Slither, the iconic heavy metal band from G.I. Joe lore, release their highly anticipated debut album. Headlined by the self-titled anthem “Cold Slither,” the album features 10 electrifying tracks blending searing guitar riffs, powerful rhythms, and catchy choruses."
