The 2026 Collector’s Edition marks a major milestone as the Hess Toy Truck transitions into a dedicated family business. Built in very limited quantities, this special release honors over six decades of holiday tradition while paving the way for the future. Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, this is the most ambitious and visually striking release in the history of the brand.
This two-vehicle set bridges the past and present, featuring a massive, light-packed Modern Tanker paired with a classic Vintage Tanker that stores directly inside it.
