Hess has been a household name for decades, and each year, the company adds to its fleet with extra-special vehicles. The 2023 Collector’s Edition Ocean Explorer — available now on HessToyTruck.com while supplies last — is a limited-edition ship and helicopter combination.
The vehicle features 48 red, white, and green lights that work in flash or steady modes, plus super-bright LED bow searchlights that swivel 120 degrees, and an internally illuminated bridge. Kids and collectors can activate four sound effects by pressing the buttons: engine start, cruising, foghorn, and air horn. It also features an elevating helipad with motion-activated hydraulic sounds and fold-down guardrails.

This ship itself also features tons of details that collectors will love. It has fixed-position molded appurtenances, including an inlayed anchor, hoses, radar domes, and a rudder/propeller. The underside has four free-rolling wheels and the stern features an illuminated commemorative 2023 “license plate.”
And that’s just the ship! The green-and-white helicopter complete with body side striping packs tons of details and features as well. The helicopter has 11 switch-activated lights, including three super-bright, fixed-position spotlights that can operate either independently or in tandem with the button-activated, motorized top and rear rotors. It also features free-rolling, retractable landing gear.
