STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – The 2022 Hess Truck mini collection toy trucks pay homage to vintage Hess Trucks from three different decades – and they come complete with lights.
The 2022 Hess Mini Collection includes three remarkably detailed small-scale models of the 1989 fire truck, 2008 truck front loader and the 2012 helicopter.
Beginning June 10, the limited production mini collection will be available exclusively at HessToyTruck.com for $31.99 with free standard shipping and Energizer batteries included.

“Each toy in the Hess 2022 Mini Collection remains true to the character and styling of its original full-sized version – including brilliant working lights, intricate details, and chrome accents. The display-ready packaging perfectly shows off the full collection, with each miniature mounted on a detachable display base with name plate,” the company said.
There are more than 50 lights between the vehicles.
The miniature fire truck features a three-tiered ladder that extends 11-inches and rotates 360 degrees. The miniature toy truck and front loader features a fixed position forward bucket and free rolling wheels, and the combo contains 24 lights. The miniature helicopter has a free spinning main rotor with folding blades and rear propellor with 17 lights.

“We promise you will never get a call about your Hess Mini Toy Truck’s extended warranty,” joked Hess Toy Truck General Manager Justin Mayer.
“Our toys are built to last so they can be treasured for years and handed down to the newest generation,” Mayer said.
For those new to the Hess Toy Truck brand, the collectable tradition was started by Leon Hess in 1964 and continues today with millions of families.
For nearly 60 years, Hess has been the number one selling toy truck in the United States with a new model released each holiday season. For more than two decades, Hess has also offered a miniature toy collectable every summer.
