2014 Hess Mini Sport Utility Vehicle: The 40th Anniversary Replica

The 2014 Hess Miniature Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) was a significant release, marking the 50th Anniversary of the overall Hess Toy Truck collection. This miniature model was a faithful reproduction of the full-size SUV from a previous milestone anniversary.

Miniature Replica of the 2004 Anniversary Set

This release was the 17th Mini in the series and scaled down the popular non-truck holiday model from ten years earlier. It successfully captured the rugged aesthetic and functional features of the original.
