2017 Hess Mini Collection: The Return of the Minis

The 2017 Hess Mini Collection was a highly anticipated reintroduction of the Miniature Series. After a three-year pause (no Minis were released in 2015 or 2016), the line was officially relaunched, marking a return to the supplemental spring collectible. This year’s release came as a single package containing three individual miniature vehicles.

Three Fan-Favorites in Miniature

The 2017 Mini Collection was the first to be sold as a set of three distinct, separately boxed toys (totaling three Minis for the year). It highlighted three diverse and popular models from the previous decade of the full-size collection.
