~ maybe not in castle theme, but the recent ufo and insectoid series had silver
and gold printed detailing not only on the torso pieces, but on the legs and
heads as well...
i just looked at my crusader 'fig from #6077 (assembled right in front of me),
and he does have metalic gold on his torso. maybe it's because it's "new". i
opened this set from a sealed box 3 weeks ago.
later ~ craig~
