For six decades, the Hess Toy Truck has been a holiday tradition, and this year marks a significant milestone – the 60th Anniversary! To celebrate, Hess is releasing a spectacular 2024 Hess Fire Truck with Car and Motorcycle, a true standout in the world of Car Trucks and collectible toys. This anniversary edition is not just a toy; it’s a feature-rich, meticulously designed set that embodies the spirit of emergency response and play. Packaged in a special 60th-anniversary box, this trio of heroic vehicles is the most feature-packed Hess Toy Truck team ever created, promising hours of imaginative play and becoming a cherished collectible for years to come.
This year’s release elevates the classic fire truck design to new heights. The cab-forward, aerial ladder Fire Truck boasts a vibrant red color scheme, accented with striking white body side striping and gleaming chrome details. From the emergency light bar to the powerful searchlights and the towering, extendable ladder, every aspect of this truck screams quality and attention to detail.
The interactive features are what truly set this toy apart. Located on the cab top are four buttons, each activating a unique, realistic sound – a powerful truck horn, a European emergency siren, a traditional emergency siren, and the robust sound of an engine starting and idling. These sound effects are perfectly synchronized with distinct animated light patterns, creating an immersive play experience. For even more visual excitement, a switch on the truck’s underside controls 43 brilliant red, white, and blue emergency lights, offering both steady and flashing modes.
The fire truck’s functionality extends beyond lights and sounds. It features a triple-tier aerial extension ladder that not only rotates a full 360 degrees with click-turn precision but also elevates to a 60-degree angle, reaching over 15 inches in height. Flanking this impressive ladder are two super-bright, multi-directional searchlights. Each searchlight offers 180-degree vertical and 270-degree horizontal rotation, ensuring maximum visibility during pretend rescue missions.
Adding to the play value are the two illuminated transport holds integrated into the fire truck’s design. These compartments house the accompanying fire chief car and motorcycle. The fire chief car is accessed via a button-release rear lift gate and a pull-out ramp, complete with a motion-activated hydraulic sound effect, adding another layer of realism. The motorcycle is easily deployed with a press of a button above the dual-purpose fold-down ramp doors on either side of the truck, ensuring quick access for speedy rescues.
Celebrating 60 years of Hess Toy Trucks, this special edition incorporates a commemorative illuminated ‘60’ insignia embedded within the front grille, a proud emblem of its heritage. This anniversary mark is also embossed on each of the side ramp doors, further highlighting its special edition status among car trucks enthusiasts and Hess collectors.
The included red Fire Chief car is designed for speed and style. Sporting ‘racing-style’ white striping, a rear spoiler, tinted windows, and chrome accessories, this car complements the fire truck perfectly. Chrome accents include the emergency light bar, front and rear bumpers, and wheel covers, adding to its sleek appearance. A switch underneath activates 37 multicolor lights in steady mode, illuminating the grille, bumper, emergency lights, and side running lights. Equipped with a speedy pull-back motor, the Fire Chief car is ready to race to any emergency scene.
Completing this dynamic trio is the red rescue-style motorcycle. It features a rider in a safety suit with white piping and a chrome firefighting backpack, adding to the emergency responder theme. Turning the rider’s helmet activates 4 head and taillights in steady-on mode. The ‘rev-and-release’ friction motor propels the motorcycle forward, capable of performing both flat and wheelie maneuvers for added play excitement.
