Other collections planned for next year include a set of stamps celebrating the best of musical theatre in February, followed by a tales of King Arthur batch in March.
The 50th anniversary of environmental group WWF will also be marked in March with portraits of 10 animals, including the African elephant and the Siberian tiger.
''This is by far the most exciting start to a year for Royal Mail stamps," said Philip Parker, stamps spokesman for the Royal Mail.
"The year blasts off with Thunderbirds, Stingray and the amazing TV series of Gerry Anderson, and the excitement doesn't stop there.
''There's something for everyone in the first half of 2011, with musicals, magical realms and WWF just some of the themes dropping on the doormats across millions of homes in the UK and across the world.''
