Very nice! I love low-poly models! What program did you use to make him? Can't wait to see him textured!

really low poly for the detail you have..... but.....i think your able to do this because you have alot of intersecting volumes! this aint good for a game engine, because
A you can have problems when you animatye the bones i.e parts will slide across each other unless you get the values for each vertex perfectly weighted.
B intersecting meshes are inefficient when drawn by game engine as z buffer has too decide which is on top, this can leed to flickering along the edges.

but the models cool. i suggest cutting and joining everything together!
massive task but a single mesh is the optimal model for games character. plus it will be alot easier to get a good uvw cords for youtexture

vegabros thanks, I used 3D Max.

SHEPEIRO you're absolutely right, even though with current standard zbuffer there are almost no flickering it's always a good policy not to make paralel surfaces, so close to each other.
I think I'll cut the bigger parts, and weld it all together. Thanks for the advice :)
