Royal Mail has today revealed a set of stamps, celebrating Aardman’s most popular and beloved animated characters. A selection of Royal Mail stamps, each with a beloved character created at Bristol's Aardman Animations have been unveiled today. The limited edition collection will go on sale next week, and includes a miniature sheet for collectors. The miniature sheet stamps are 27 x 37 mm ( A Close Shave) 34 x 24 mm (remainder), all perforated 14. Lord, 67, and Sproxton, 68, began to gain widespread recognition after creating the now-highly recognisable shape-shifting clay character Morph for the BBC’s Take Hart series. A mischievous figure who can transform into any shape he likes, Morph was Aardmanʼs first character to achieve national fame. He guested on the childrenʼs television show Take Hart before starring in his own series, The Amazing Adventures of Morph, from 1980, where he was joined by an even cheekier partner in crime, Chas.

It is the first in a series of planned videos to be released during 2022 that will allow customers sending stamped mail to choose which one the recipient can see when they receive an item of mail. Eight stamps illustrate a selection of its most popular characters, while a miniature sheet of four showcases stories featuring their most famous duo, Wallace and Gromit.
