… If you’re in the UK! But, come on, we know you love nerdy stamps. You went CRAZY for NZ Post’s The Lord of the Rings stamps, and you know it’s true. And now the time has come to bring your philatelist love to Stranger Things. The UK’s Royal Mail has wisely created some commemorative Stranger Things stamps to help you celebrate the series finale of the show we’ve all loved for ten years of our lives. Plus, you know you HAVE to have these Stranger Things stamps because they know what’s up. Yes, they have an Eddie Munson stamp, just for us, making Eddie Munson the only dead character (plus or minus Vecna, we guess) to receive the honor of a feature on the stamps. In addition to just stamps, there are also all kinds of Collector’s Edition items you can buy celebrating the Stranger Things collection. Let’s take a look!
Which Characters Are on The Stranger Things Stamps?
The main collection of Stranger Things stamps features three different stamp strips, each featuring different characters we know and love.
Royal Mail
The first Stranger Things stamp strip prominently features Stranger Things season one Eleven, Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Stranger Things 5 Eleven. Stranger Things one Eleven’s stamp also pictures Joyce. Dustin’s stamp meanwhile has Lucas and Mike on it. Steve’s Stranger Things stamp (alongside with wisely depicting him in his Scoops Ahoy! uniform) also contains Robin and Erica. (We stan a stamp!) Nancy’s stamp has Jonathan and Henry Creel. (A ship no one saw coming) And finally Stranger Things 5 Eleven’s stamp depicts Hopper and Linda Hamilton’s Dr. Kay.
The second Stranger Things stamp strip features Will, Hopper, Max, Eddie Munson, and Vecna. Will’s Stranger Things stamp also gives us a Demogorgon and Barb. (Good for Barb!) Hopper’s stamp brings with it a demodog and Will. Max gets the Mind Flayer and Billy. Eddie Munson’s Stranger Things stamp (yes, with Eddie in the middle), sees Dustin and Max join him. And finally Vecna’s stamp gives us Holly and Mr. Whatsit. (A double Vecna).

The final Stranger Things stamp strip and perhaps the coolest of them all is an art-piece made of stamps. We see a full scene of The Party riding their bikes away from the Mind Flayer that includes a Lucas stamp, a Will stamp, a Mike stamp, and a Dustin stamp. We love it!
