Gerry Anderson New Year UK Stamps

With the news having been broken at Fanderson's TV21 con, it now comes to the blog: the UK Royal Mail will be launching a series of Gerry Anderson stamps on  January 11th 2011. You can keep up to date at the Royal Mail here and get some background at Fanderson. By Gum, they're Thunderstamped!

Sure, the enevlope can take all the stamps evenly distributed ... but can it take them in one solid mass?

OK, which episode, guys?

The Philosophic Toad said...

Yeah, yeah, I know it wasn't stamps in the story.

WOODSY said...

Pit of Peril?

I've got this licked!

hee hee.

The Philosophic Toad said...

Pit of Peril? Nope.

Shaqui said...

Day of Disaster. So there. :-P

The Philosophic Toad said...

Quite so, Shaqui ^_^

It's the big rocket being driven across the bridge, guys!

Shaqui said...

And on a slightly more related note, read the small print credits on one stamp related item... ;-)

Woodsy said...

Which Small Print Shaqui?

The Philosophic Toad said...

Ahhh, you'll see, Woodsy. Might be more to these stamps than you think ^_^

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, so ...

Woodsy said...

Now I'm intrigued!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Philosophic Toad said...

Well, I guess you need to ask yourself, how desperate are you to have me kill you?

Woodsy said...

Even though curiosity killed the cat I don't fancy death by Toad! I can wait!

The Philosophic Toad said...

Good call, Woodsy. Death by Toad is not pretty. Plus it tends to be fatal, resulting in ... well ... erm ... death.

Shaqui said...

I would refer my learned friends to Exhibit A (click on my name), and read the blog of designers GBH: http://gregorybonnerhale.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

The defence rests.

WOODSY said...

Ipso Facto, Shaqui's cool! That's a great coup Shaqui! Wow, what a superb thing to work on! Did you get to meet the whole team - Gerry Embleton et al? The story about flying him in from Switzerland was the stuff of James Bond! Or should I say Thunderbirds!

Where are the credits of all the designers? Like your good self?Couldn't find 'em.

Credits are in tiny, tiny lettering at the side.

WOODSY said...

It all looks truly fantastic. And there's a Royal Mint medal too. It's going to fly like hot cakes!

Shaqui said...

Before anyone gets too excited, I was only peripheral to events. But was credited on one item, all the same. (Thanks to Stephen La Riviere)

WOODSY said...

Well done Shaqui! Can't wait to see them. I like Steven's book a lot so the comic should be good as well.
