2019 Hess Mini Collection

The Hess Corp. revealed the newest trio of vehicles to join the famed lineup of its Hess Miniature series. Released annually each spring since 1998 (excluding 2015 and 2016), the Hess Minis are small-scale replicas of vehicles previously released as part of the Hess Toy Truck range — a holiday tradition since 1964.

The 2019 Hess Mini Collection includes three highly detailed trucks from three distinct decades of Hess Corp. history. This year’s release includes the 1975 Hess Box Trailer; 1996 Hess Emergency Truck; and the 2011 Hess Toy Truck & Race Car.  

Each toy features details true to its full-scale counterpart, including working LED lights and chrome accents.
