Hess 2012 Truck: Helicopter & Rescue Vehicle Playset

Elevate imaginative play with Hess 2012 Truck

The Hess 2012 Truck pairs a white-and-green helicopter with a hidden rescue vehicle, delivering a sensory-rich play experience rooted in a long-standing toy tradition. Real working lights and authentic sounds invite kids to stage action-packed scenes with confidence and curiosity.

The helicopter features motorized main and tail rotors, a push-button cargo bay door release, and retractable landing gear. Three authentic sounds simulate ignition, takeoff, and a fly-by, while lights—including running lights that can flash or stay steady—bring scenes to life. A pivoting set of high-powered searchlights adds dramatic flair to late-day rescues, helping little pilots and responders recreate tense, exciting moments.

Inside the set: rescue mission in a compact package

The rear cargo hatch opens to reveal a rescue vehicle tucked beneath the helicopter, expanding storytelling options for quick missions or longer adventures. The rescue vehicle includes a pull-back motor for fast, kinetic play that contrasts nicely with the helicopter's motion.
