Without further ado here’s why demand for movie collectables is so high and why my top 5 fit the bill perfectly…
The ultimate tribute to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Now, we re-visit the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in a stunning philatelic tribute to its most iconic superheroes!
Earlier this year, to mark the 80th birthday of Marvel Comics which has evolved into the highest grossing film franchise of all time, Royal Mail issued a brand-new stamp release, celebrating the heroes at the heart of its success. This stunning commemorative set features six undeniable favourites; Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Thor and Black Panther.
These stunning new-issue stamps have been designed by British Marvel Artist Alan Davis in brilliant colour and feature never-before-seen interpretations of your favourite heroes. Plus, in the world of philatelic collecting, the postmark is everything! For this set, the stamps have been postmarked with the first date of issue– 14th March 2019 at Shield Row, Stanley in a poignant tribute to Marvel legend Stan Lee.
This really does have all the makings of a first class collectable and for Marvel fans, stamp collectors and film buffs, this is a must-have!
Official Royal Mail Harry
Potter stamps HAND-SIGNED by a Harry Potter STAR!
Coming next, we have an Official Royal Mail Stamp release, enchanting the nation with our favourite world of Witchcraft and Wizardry; Harry Potter. This exclusive capsule edition features five OFFICIAL Royal Mail 1st class Hogwarts Professors stamps, hand mounted alongside the hand-written signature of the iconic Miriam Margolyes, or as we all know and love her, Professor Sprout.
As one of the highest grossing film series of all time, a Harry Potter collectable was a natural choice for the range. The stamps were issued in 2018 to honour the critically acclaimed global phenomenon that is Harry Potter and they have spellbound Potterheads like me around the globe!
The stamps feature some of the most iconic Hogwarts professors including Lupin and Snape, to name a few, and have been hand-mounted alongside Miriam Margolyes’ hand-written autograph in a limited edition presentation. In fact, just 500 of these original presentations have been issued worldwide, making them exceptionally rare. In fact this is actually one of the most limited ways to own the stamps!

The most detailed Bond figurine you will ever see…
When it came to it, there really was only one contender for the top spot, the collectable that left us all shaken and stirred – the James Bond Sean Connery Goldfinger Figure.
Now, James Bond is arguably the most iconic British film series ever released, standing the test of time and becoming a genuine national treasure. Bond collectables are one of the most competitive thematic collector markets around the world and this is hands down the most detailed Bond figure I have ever seen…
Depicting the most legendary Bond of all, Sean Connery, in the academy award winning Goldfinger, this really is the ultimate movie collectable. Crafted in meticulous detail by the experts at BIG Chief Studios, this fully realised model is authentically styled to include everything from his Mint Julep drink to his tailored grey suit- the detail is honestly astounding!
We are in awe and you will be too! Just 1,300 of these fully licensed figures exist worldwide, largely due to the incredible craftsmanship involved in creating them. Bond fandom is a worldwide phenomenon and pieces like this are few and far between so in terms of collectability, this piece wins the gold-medal!
The variety of movie collectables out there is astounding and it has been so hard to whittle it down to just 5! However, from stamps with that crucial first-day-of-issue postmark, to limited edition autographs, hand-crafted pewter and James Bond fandom, there is something for everyone in this range!
