I like the helmets. They are both classic. For the belt, it should either be very slack with a back, or you should extrude it directly from the shirt so that the thickness is uniform (frankly though I would probably just remove it)
I know that's a ton of work into the skeleton, and I've been there, believe me. But I still don't think its ready for prime time.
The texture itself would look a lot better if it was actually very much like that helmet on the bottom. The shadows inside the skull should be much lighter. Just a few shades browner than the outside, which should probably be darker too.
The bones are paper thin in places. And it looks too much like something out of a doctors office. It needs some damage, and bones missing here and there. Especially in the ribs, where most of the cartilage could go.
In fact the entire ribcage should be mostly fused together by sinew so that its all one piece. Likewise there should be a similar sheath running down the length of the spinal column hiding the many protrusions of vertebrae, but not completely. The back should be bumpy.
Similarly the knees should be fused by ligaments with a kneecap, one of them could be missing. The radius and ulna could also be fused with sinew. Same for the tibia and fibula. The polygon count would be much less. And it would look better. Similarly the hand bones and the entire foot should be one piece. The toes could be another articulated piece.
But just be clear. If you do have bones that always move in unison. Make damn sure that they are treated as a single object for purposes of animation. If everyone of those bones gets displayed independently its going to seriously slow down games.
If you had a skinned animation, you could have the fused pieces actually move in a non-rigid way. SOM can't do skinned animations (pretty much what all games use for almost everything nowadays) but I will be getting around to adding it when the time is right.
