Collecting the Killer Wart Hog
Toys from the Ice Age assortment are fairly hard to come by these days, but pop up every so often on eBay. You'll find most of these auctions originate from European nations, where the Ice Age toys were more heavily distributed.

The Wart Hog and its accessories are fairly unique and easy to identify. The gun tip on the particle cannon comes from the common sprue of 4 red gun tips used in other Dino-Riders sets. The belly band is a lighter blue than usual.

Zar the cro-magnon man has cream skin with light brown hair. He has red markings on his left shoulder and an animal tattoo on his chest.

Tyco 1990 Catalogue: This awesome creature features fierce snapping jaws and is accessorized with a simulated ice cutting flame thrower. Commanding the Killer Wart Hog is "ZAR," a Cro-Magnon caveman.

Killer Wart Hog Notes
The Killer Wart Hog doesn't appear to have changed at all from the pre-production piece. The caveman used is completely different though.

The gun mounted on the Wart Hog is called a 'particle beam cannon' in the instruction booklet, but called a 'simulated flame thrower' on the box.

The 'Killer' Wart Hog is a herbivore!
