The subject choice is frankly good!
However, and without wanting to place myself in front of a rolling train, I would like to point that the anatomy is not the best. Some of you previously noted that the shoulder is undersized. Yes it is. But I would like to invite you to place your arm and fist rotation exactly exactly exactly in the position displayed here, same goes to the neck rotation:
Are you feeling that? It's uncomfortable, right? In fact it is awkward to be in this position: By side - It will only get comfortable if your arm is extended and not retracted ... and after that you can rotate your neck to a more relaxed position . What I pretend to mean, is that not only the anatomy is not quite good but also that the pose is artificial for mankind. It is not a comfortable position for a person to be and that is severely notorious. Now move your arm sideways to the front of you, rotate your palm and magically everything works well, you feel comfortable.
The point of my interference is not to stir waters after the figure is released, but an attempt to allow for an improvement before. Figures are so expensive, and the degree of demand purchasers have, has got to be the tightness of all modeling genres. I personally think it is better to express ourselves before a miniature is released than exposing it to unnecessary flak fire later on. So please respect my opinion and above all place your arms in that position and find a comfortable way to relocate it. That is my point of view.

You are quite right, biomechanically it doesnt work, and a few other things there too, unless one single picture doesnt accurately show the proportions.
I have learnt to keep quiet. Unless sculptor wants to improve and progress, its not worth to start the fuss. Unfortunately, my profession wires me up to look for abnormalities, I cant help it, really.
Manufacturer is very pleased with it and whoever likes it - will buy it.
And thats OK
