Thanks to My Nintendo News and Twitter user @kitteclub, we have a first look at Super Mario themed postage stamps. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad and Yoshi are featured in the set. The stamps are a mix of standard key art with some mail themed pieces. Toad as a postman? It’s too cute! (Calling the custom amiibo community!) Though, sorry Bowser fans; while he does appear on the full stamp sheet, he only serves as decorative art.
In addition, a new postmark has been made. Mail that’s sent with any of the Super Mario stamps will also be inked with the postmark, which is a line art version of the “Mario mailing a letter” stamp.
The stamps will be available starting June 28th and will, sadly, only be available in Japan in limited quantities via National Japan Post locations.
Dear post offices around the world, can you make this stamp set available? Pretty please?
