Hess 2019 Tow Truck Res Team

The 2019 Hess Tow Truck Rescue Team was a highly anticipated and significant release, marking the first time in the collection’s history that a tow truck was the primary focus of the annual holiday toy. The set provided a powerful two-in-one roadside assistance team, offering a variety of realistic towing actions.
