One of the things I remember from my childhood is my parents quest for the annual Hess Toy Truck. Now, since I’ve had children I also try to get a Hess Toy Truck every year. The Hess Toy Truck first became available in 1964. The Hess Toy Truck always sells out, so you have to get one as early as possible if you want one. The Hess Toy Trucks are always different, and they look great and hold up really well. It’s almost time for the 2012 Hess Toy Truck to be unveiled.
The 2012 Hess Toy Truck is a Helicopter and Rescue. Last week, fans began to uncover hints and image pieces of the new Toy Truck model through 30,000 linked social actions such as posting a Hess Toy Truck collectors badge on Facebook, tweeting #hesstruck2012 and checking in at Hess Express locations.
Lighting up the sky this year, the 2012 Hess Helicopter and Rescue takes flight Friday, Nov. 9 at participating Hess and Hess Express retail stores and, for the first time ever, will be sold online at www.hesstoytruck.com, retailing for $26.99 plus tax (plus shipping for online orders) – Energizer® batteries included. Preordering is available online starting Nov. 1.
The 2012 Hess Helicopter and Rescue reinforces a long tradition of quality, craftsmanship and imaginative play. Loaded with chrome detailing, the white and green battery-powered helicopter features motorized rotors, sounds and lights and retractable landing gear. Tucked inside its rear cargo hatch is a rescue vehicle with retractable lights and a pull-back motor.
The toy set’s full lineup of fun features includes:
Helicopter
- Motorized Main and Tail Rotors
- 3 authentic sounds: Ignition, Takeoff, and Fly By
- Real working lights including running lights that work in flash or steady mode, and a set of high powered pivoting searchlights
- Push-button activated cargo bay door release
- Retractable landing gear
Rescue
- Friction Motor
- Working head, tail, and accent lights
