Individual stamps in this set

$1.70 'Tulkun'

Native to Pandora, the tulkun depicted on this stamp is a large whale-like creature that is highly intelligent. The Metkayina Clan – like all reef people – share a deep spiritual bond with the tulkun. 

$1.70 'Jake Sully'

This stamp features Jake Sully, the leader of the Omatikaya Clan and one of the main protagonists in Avatar: The Way of Water. He’s depicted here riding a skimwing, a creature that the Metkayina and other reef clans use to hunt and ride into battle. 

$3.00 'Banshee'

This stamp shows two mountain banshee in flight. Banshee are large aerial predators that are native to Pandora. The bonding between banshee and Na’vi is a dangerous rite of passage, but once achieved it allows the creature and rider to fly effortlessly through the Pandoran skies. 

$3.80 'Ilu'

Ilu are sleek, aquatic, plesiosaur-like creatures with long necks, six flippers and rudder-like tails. These aquatic mounts are primarily used by reef Na’vi people for travel and hunting.  

$4.30 'Neytiri'

One of the most fierce and powerful warriors of the Omatikaya Clan, Neytiri plays a pivotal role in Avatar: The Way of Water. Fifteen years after the events of Avatar, she is now the mother of three biological children: Neteyam, Lo’ak and Tuktirey, as well as the adoptive mother of Kiri.  

$4.50 'The Sully Family'

Neytiri, along with the rest of her family – Jake, Neteyam, Lo’ak, Kiri and Tuk – must leave the safety and security of their rainforest home and travel thousands of miles across Pandora to seek shelter and safe harbour in the distant atolls of Pandora.
