Londonbus1 beat me to it - I was just about to post a set of Monaco's "Reinatex" hexagonal labels. Some of the early telegraph stamps of Belgium, as listed in Prinet, are true-hexagons; I can't find the few I have. And don't forget banana-shaped stamps from Tonga picturing, of course, a banana.

Look like a gimmick-issue.But 45 years ago they just were extraordinary. A look to a catalogue shows,that they are extraordinary expensive for a modern days set.
"Speaking Stamps",issued April 15th,1973

Left air-mai,right postage.

A sheetlet of hexagonal stamps from Spain. The stamps refer to a popular video game in the country. Although all the stamps look the same at first, each is different, in that the silvery door frame contains a different "monster" hidden in it, and revealed by warming the stamp when you press your finger on it.
