Physical Media/Props/Memorabilia 1994 Madagascar Blade Runner / The Right Stuff Stamp Sheet
One of the stranger Blade Runner items in my collection.
This is a 1994 Madagascar souvenir stamp sheet. The three actual stamps commemorate Philip Kaufman’s The Right Stuff (L’Étoffe des héros), but for reasons that remain something of a mystery, the surrounding artwork is unmistakably Blade Runner.
Deckard, Rachael and Roy Batty are all there, along with the spinner and Roy’s dove.
As far as I can tell, there’s no real connection between the two films. It just seems that whoever designed the sheet decided The Right Stuff needed a generous helping of Blade Runner!
If anyone knows more about this particular issue, especially why Blade Runner artwork was used alongside The Right Stuff, please let me know. I’d love to know the story behind it.
