2014 Hess Toy Truck Collector’s Edition: The Original Homage

The 2014 Hess Toy Truck Collector’s Edition was a monumental release, being the first-ever Collector’s Edition issued by the company. It was specifically created to honor the 50th Anniversary of the Hess Toy Truck tradition (1964–2014) by paying homage to the original 1964 tanker.

Old Meets New: Tanker Within a Tanker

This limited-production set combines an updated, full-size version of the original tanker design with a miniature replica tucked inside, creating a highly coveted piece that celebrates the entire history of the collection. It was sold exclusively online, unlike the mass-market holiday truck released that same year.
