Earthshock Cybermen waiting to get going after their tea break. I made the Cyber Leader by painting the head-pieces of a standard figure black using modelling acrylic.

The Cybermen have had a vulnerability to gold ever since this was a major plot element of the 70's story " Revenge of the Cybermen". The official explanation being that gold "clogs their breathing mechanisms". This doesn't make much sense to me since ( while yes, the Cybermen would need some sort of an oxygen supply to keep their organic brains alive) the Cybermen have been shown to be able to survive in the vacuum of space, on the surface of the moon and other airless environments for a time, which seems to imply that they have a back up oxygen supply built into them. Even if this was not true, you'd think that they'd start installing such a system once their foes started shooting them with guns that fired gold dust and whatnot.
In each story the gold vulnerability seemed to get progressively more extreme and sort of silly, to the point where just being hit in the chest with a gold coin was enough to kill them.
Thanks goodness the Cybermen in the revived series have not been shown to suffer from this most illogical of weaknesses.
These are the new David-Tennant Doctor Who figures, am I'm slightly embarrassed to admit, I'm rather keen!
