1). Your screwed becouse there is no way to lower the poly count with good results unless you go in there and start deliting edges buy hand. I have done that befor. no fun!!!
2). if you really want to contiue with this one. you can model the rest in low poly or subD. But put a lattice on the High poly. That will make it resonably tweekable !! any ruf edges you have ware the Latticed poly and the rest of the subD meet, you can hide pritty eazy. I say Hide them eazy becouse of looking at all the hiding places on your refrance.

This sucks, I mean sucks, after a hard work you have to get start it from the beginning (almost from the beginning).
Man, I wish you luck, because you will need it!!!

nice model, hope you get it to work...
btw. you can convert subDs to Nurbs, and then again Nurbs to Poly's a bit akward, and the poly will properly keep a high poly count...
but afterwards you then maybe can use this plugin "Progressive Mesh v0.6"... -->

it should be able to reduce the polycount as far as I have understood... I haven't tried it yet thou so I'm not 100% sure...

.. i suggest though that you select the whole butt of your beeman (faces) and then squish it and move it towards the butt again. Its definately a start, now just start adding a lot of detail .

maybe you should bend his legs in straights, instead of a curve tho ..
