Dude, I'm gonna give you some feedback, I hope you find it helpful.
I think capturing what you're going for here is just gonna be a nightmare to pull off. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, but it looks like it's gonna be hard. Toy or not, you've chosen a subject that, in my opinion, will be very hard to sculpt.
I can't really tell if you're inspired by the idea of the Mayan statue/monolith or you're just trying to copy it. Not making a judgment, just confused.
For me, what makes the original so awesome is that an early civilization took a giant rock and covered it with amazing detail that includes a whole language of glyphs. Maybe you could research the glyphs and make the piece say something? I just think the skulls on the sides make for a missed opportunity to do something a little more creative.
Also, the face and "torso" just don't really work. It's not just that the sculpting is crude, but it doesn't look Mayan. The face especially. Look closely at some reference pics and you'll see that Mayan artwork tends to incorporate similar facial features that look more "native" (for lack of a better word). Also, the facial features are carved into the stone, on yours, they're very obviously added on top. Looks weird.
I do like the snake arms. They're definitely the best thing you've got going on here.
That's all I got. Keep at it and good luck!
