UPDATE: Turns out this is Frank Todaro doing the voice of Cobra Commander and not Hamil. If Warner Bros ever needs a new Voice Actor for Joker, they might want to check Frank out.


Hasbro and Reigning Phoenix Music has released a new G.I. Joe Cold Slither promo stating Reigning Phoenix Music has officially fallen under new management on Instagram.

This is obviously in conjunction with the recently announced SDCC 2025 Exclusive G.I. Joe Classified Series Dreadnoks Cold Slither Band of Vipers Box Set Hasbro will be releasing.

The most interesting thing about this is that it sounds like Hasbro has hired famous actor/voice actor Mark Hamil to do the voice of Cobra Commander in this promo. Hamil of course in the world of cartoon voices is best known for his work on Batman: The Animated Series as Joker. If this is in fact Hamil here, he does a fair impression of the late Chris Latta's version of the Cobra leader from the original cartoon series. Hiring someone of Hamil's stature for something like this seems a little over-the-top to me, but who know maybe this could lead to bigger and better things like a new G.I. Joe cartoon series???? We can only hope.

Once a Man was available multiple times and wasn't that hard to get. It sold out fast-ish the first time it went up, but then they reissued it.

I was not able to get that Cobra Commander at those multiple occasions and I will have to rely on ebay to get me one...

I don't know what's going on but these is what Super 7 was supposed to do before Hasbro... I'm guessing if they will now do a conjunction release for this set in Reaction+ scale for SDCC...

When I saw the pictures, I didn't read the headline and honestly thought this was s Super7 Ultimates set...

Total pass for me - I'm a Joe comic guy, not a cartoon fan - but great for those that want it!

Also, you'd think a master of disguise would have a more masterful disguise.

What are you talking about? That Cold Slither guy has yellow pants. Zartan doesn't wear yellow pants! Next you'll be telling me that nerdy reporter guy is Superman... ?

You guys are early. April 1st is still more than a month away.

CC was a nightmare. Pretty much every time they made it look orderable, it was already sold out, all because they refused to do the obvious and change the maximum order to something reasonable. The stock was eaten non-stop by bots. Every time they sent out anything saying it was back up, it was already sold out again. I'm not surprised it put people off Pulse. It proved they are incapable of getting their act together at times. And still, the site remains a mess.

Pulse's site is glitchy and there were issues. But your experience is not the experience of everyone. I'm not interested in humblebragging or belittling anyone. Once a Man was not as hard to get as some in the past have been and the secondary price kind of reflects that. I don't think he's ever traded at 2x cost, which would be unusual for a hard to get, rare convention exclusive.

Gotta disagree with you, there. Once a Man was probably the biggest botch I've ever witnessed from them. It was the definition of a cluster. They gave out a time for when it would be available, then corrected themselves, saying it would actually be available at a different time, then put it up at the originally given time, took that down, put it up on the correctly given time, which was available for about 3 minutes on their newly-minted-into-garbage "updated" site, wherein people were unable to checkout because the site is a coding dumpster fire. Then said "whoops, we'll make it right," which translated to them putting it back up the next day, except by the time it was "live" again on the site (that is, it could be found on either the "new"/"convention exclusives"/"pulse exclusives" it was again un-purchasable. You could add it to the cart, but you could not check out with it. Kind of like what Pulse is doing in this very moment with today's Spider-Man wave. All of which was compounded by the fun fact that the multi-product pages (the "new" selection for example) and the actual, individual product page don't talk to each other in real-time. So one page will say it's available, while the other will say it's sold out, and oddly enough there's no consistency on which one will say which. So half the time it was put up for sale, it could be added to the cart, but you couldn't check out with it. They did this at least two more times-- "It's available!" just not if you want to actually check out with the product. The literal only reason I have one is because I never removed it from my cart, and a week and a half later I noticed the a telltale discrepancy between the "New Products" page and the Individual product page, which had blinked over to green on the "pre-order" marker (while still saying sold out of course) and I spent the next half hour refreshing the product page non-stop until it kicked over to actually being addable. Seconds later I had gone to my cart and checked out. That window lasted a few short minutes, and it's the final time they made it available on the site. I suspect it only occurred because they had gone through and weeded out some of the bot purchases, but clearly not very many. It wasn't until after it was no longer available that the "new products" page said it could be purchased. Just... a complete mess.

This should also include a cassette tape of the song(s?) they sang on the show, lol

The press release says something about a 10 track album that will include the original song remastered being produced as well. Too freakin' insane!

It's pretty lovable, but also totally something I can pass on, it's fun, but I really don't need it or care about it.

Looks cool. Based on past Con exclusives, I doubt I would ever find it for a reasonable price.

The Once A Man CC is literally the thing that made me quit Hasbro Pulse Premium. It perfectly highlighted how unnecessary and futile a club membership is.
