I can't remember my castle figs too well now - they are in storage :(

That's right, I forgot that the android figs - the red ones in Spyrius/Unitron and the
white ones in Exploriens - and the alien figs have gold/silver prints, but then classic
space figs and futron always had the gold "logo".  Do Insectoid figs have gold/silver
prints as well?

I suppose that since TLG has been using gold/silver on recent figs (aka Space figs),
they could technically produce them for castle, but with the huge amount of Juniorizing
that goes into the Castle sets, I doubt this would be so.
