Looks awesome to me. As a side note, 25mm is basically 1 inch, the scale Pathfinder is built on.
It's not up to the GM and it's okay to use whatever miniature you want. It's your character.
Most GM's dont care about which mini you use or what color they are. Actually I don't know any that would care as long as it is the not a large mini.

For the most part that's true. But there's a huge variety of minis out there. Most are fine. Some are not.
As the DM I had to ban one players mini a few years back as it was in extremley poor taste & we were playing at the local shop.
My game group doesn't have a lot of minis. Heck, a lot of the time it was just "The d12 is the barbarian, the d8 is the cleric, the d6 is the rogue, and the d4 is the wizard."
Ban a mini? What, was it NSFW with dangly bits etc? <g>
Using miniatures is a really fun part of the hobby. Sure, painting takes up a lot of time, but it can be really satisfying when done right.
Check out the Fantasy section on http://www.lead-adventure.de/index.php for some really exquisite examples of fantasy figures.
Or, even better, drool over this years painting competition.
In my group, we had somebody who used a chess piece to represent his character for a little while. I can only think of two reasons for a GM to object to a mini:
1) It grossly offends his taste, or
2) It looks too much like a monster he wants to use.
I'll put money on that 'banned' mini being one of those weird Nazi mini-figs that you see in Europe sometimes.
Getting too literal about a mini to represent your character can get not-fun pretty quickly. If it's close enough to make you happy everything should work out.

All figures must follow Games Workshop guidelines.
Weapons and physical traits must be accurately represented and all figures must be painted. You will be judged based on the quality and creativity of the paintjob. Flocking is not required, but reflects on the quality of the paintjob.
Get out your greenstuff and sculpting tools; make sure your figure is ready before you put it on the table.

Someone once dropped in for a PFS game with a My Little Pony figure that fit the 1" grid map because it was rearing up on hind legs to represent his character. The only issue I had with it was that the figure kept falling down on the unfolded, large grid paper map on an uneven table because the base was so narrow. So basically, make sure the base for the miniature is wide and sturdy; constantly falling/tipped over miniatures are annoying for everyone.

Ever seen a really old Games Workshop pygmy miniature painted up to resemble a black-face wearing minstrel?
The sculpt alone is a pretty gross characterization. It was when it was new (sometime in the 80s) & it still is today.
The paint job didn't improve it any. In fact it made it a lot worse.
Had this game been run at home we'd have likely just made some really awefull jokes/comments & simply played on.
But the game was being run at the local shop, on a table right in the middle of things....
Some minis don't belong at the shop.

I had a friend with a master summoner, back before that archetype was banned in PFS. She had a whole set of My Little Pony minis, and her character would summon ponies every fight. Each time, she'd pull out a different mini to represent the summoned pony, and afterward, she'd write in her notes what happened to that particular pony (killed by bugbear, survived and disappeared, etc).

Haha I'd have love to have seen that!

Personally, I'm not a fan of games which require you to spend hundreds of dollars per person just to play. It's one of the reasons I don't do PFS.

I used to run several armies, all painted and based :)
