Geronimo - Screaming for Vengeance!

Geronimo is arguably one of the greatest American Choujin, however the poor guy cannot even catch a break in his own country.  The Geronimo Kinkeshi sculpts are notably missing from Mattel M.U.S.C.L.E. line, and his persona in Ultimate Muscle was butchered beyond belief as "Beatlebomb."

Now, I'm clearly sensitive to the likely reasons for these exclusions, however anyone who has ever read Kinnikuman can attest to the fact that the character of Geronimo is far from a bad stereotype. 

ウララーーー!

Arches National Park is rich in Native American history, so I thought it fitting to snap a few pics of him as I was hiking there last month.


The natural beauty of the park was stunning, and I think the Geronimo Kinkeshi was happy to finally set foot on Native American soil - 肉

Monument Valley - Geronimo and the スーパーマンロード

While hiking in Monument Valley last month, I made an interesting Kinnikuman connection, and suddenly recalled that the famous backdrop once played an important role in the story of Geronimo.

The grand scenery can be seen behind Geronimo right before he climbs the stairs of the Superman Road!  A faithful likeness drawn by Nakai-sensei in 死闘のかなた…!! の巻  compared to the photo I took of the East and West Mittens and Merrick butte.
