We check out LG's hot new movie promotion phone, an LG Shine decked out in Iron Man maroon and gold.

LG Iron Man Shine Gallery »
LG Iron Man Shine The Iron Man edition of the LG Shine is a special phone going only to contest winners, which is a real shame, because this phone is gorgeous. The maroon and gold accents look exactly like you'd expect the Iron Man suit to look in person. The phone is crafted from real 18 karat gold, which puts the material value at $2000, though mere mortals won't be able to plunk down that kind of change any time soon. Instead, LG is giving the phones away as part of an Iron Man movie promotion. The phone was a bit heavy in person, obviously due to all that gold, but the look is so right, it would be a shame for LG to pass up the opportunity and create some with a gold finish, instead of the real thing. Besides, gold scratches pretty easily. Look for the phone to appear in promotional ads in a month or so, and if you can find one in person, take a look, because it is quite snazzy. Release: May 2008. Price: $2000.
Pros: The mirrored, brushed metal Shine phone, now in Iron Man maroon and real gold.
Cons: Heavy, not for resale.
