KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Malaysia Bhd has launched a Batman-themed stamp series, in collaboration with Warner Brothers Consumer Products and DC.
The limited edition stamp series pays homage to the comic and silver screen superhero, in conjunction with its 80th anniversary, and is available in two sets of collectible stamps.
Pos Malaysia executive vice-president Schrene Goh said it was hoped that the launch would encourage Batman fans, especially the younger generation, to start a hobby of collecting stamps.
“We hope this series can be added to their existing Batman collections like figurines, mugs, diaries and more,” Goh said at the launch of the “Batman 80 Years: Stamp Folder Set”, here, today.
The first set of collectible stamps is a complete folder consisting of two sheets of perforated Batman stamps, and one sheet featuring a “Batman 80 Years” logo stamp with a premium holographic foil printing technique. Also in the folder set are two souvenir covers with five stamps each, three Batman-themed postcards and a Dark Knight folder with special die-cut and spot UV effects.
There are 8,000 sets available, at RM120 each.
Pos Malaysia has also made available 40,000 special packs, each consisting of a miniature sheet with three Batman stamps, a presentation pack with tear-off postcards and a Batman-themed special envelope for RM10.
The limited edition series is available starting today at all post office nationwide and also at the online store, www.eziEmall.com under the “Stamps & Collectible” link.
