Anyone in the UK want to get me a sheet or two?!
---------
Royal Mail is releasing a set of Stranger Things stamps in its first collaboration with Netflix.
The collection is being issued in celebration of the sci-fi show’s finale and depicts a range of characters from across all five series.
Illustrations for the stamps have been created by Kyle Lambert, the British artist who designed the posters for each season of Stranger Things.
The collection comprises two sheets containing five stamps each and a miniature sheet of four stamps which shows the four main friends, Lucas, Will, Mike and Dustin, riding their 1980s-style bikes.
The first five-stamp sheet features a red background, representing the characters in the real world, while the second sheet features a blue background to represent the alternate dimension known as the Upside Down.
Each stamp on each of the main sheets depicts a scene from a different season, starting with a season one stamp on the left-hand side, with the fifth and final stamp, situated on the right-hand side, depicting a moment from season five.
The stamps also reveal a logo with the help of a UV light. The Hellfire Club logo appears on the stamp showing Joseph Quinn’s character Edward “Eddie” Munson, while the Scoops Ahoy logo appears on the stamp showing Joe Keery and Maya Hawke’s characters, Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley.
The stamps and a range of collectable products are available to pre-order from Tuesday at the Royal Mail shop online and by telephone on 03457 641 641. A presentation pack including all 14 stamps is priced at £24.70. The stamps go on general sale from Jan 13.
