The block-and-ball style is interesting - pretty cool actually. But I'd have to agree with dragonrc with using a lighter colour for the blaster/foot/hair instead of block - and maybe add a some outlines of detail there. The arm/glove part also bothers me a bit because the pinky part of the glove is so far away from the actual arm itself.
