The collection is made complete with a HK$10 stamp sheetlet featuring Mickey & Friends flying a dragon together and the HK$20 and HK$50 stamp sheetlets with a cutting in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head, printed with 3D embossing.

Moreover, the HK$50 stamp sheetlet is adorned with 22-carat gold hot foil stamping, making it highly collectible. 

The self-adhesive souvenir sheet containing a set of six stamps will also be issued.

The collection will be available starting from September 12. As for the official first day covers for the collection, it will be on sale starting tomorrow (Aug 29).

Hongkong Post said that Disney animated characters are friends with generations of people and always bring happiness and heartwarming moments to daily life. 

It will also launch an exhibition -- from August 29 to December 11 at Central's General Post Office -- to showcase the characters featured in the special stamps.
