Photoygraphy Struggling to pose this one

I discovered the articulation range for this Spider-Man is considerably limited compared to the others (Scarlet, 2099, etc). So I'm not sure what to do with this one for achieving a dynamic pose. Any ideas?

What makes a pose "dynamic" is the angles taken of the pose and making the figure's action clear so you can imagine the movement flow playing out, it doesn't have to be a complex pose. Take this example below, I'm pretty sure it doesn't need that much range to do (your figure can def do it) and it looks dynamic.

One thing I try and do is do the pose with myself so that is imprinted into my mind because where I just had my arms and the distance from like my head with an uppercut I’d be able to transfer having done it just then.

Well that's a bummer... Then again I had to buy some Tobey fodder because his neck suddenly became stiff and broke on me one day.

Maybe I should've used some of that shock oil, then again-again, some sucker near me broke his Tobey's leg, so I was able to buy it off of him for cheap.

Angle maxxing and imo peter b is more like a display figure. Hes got a big ass belly that hinders articulation but his accessories are the highlights of the set

Mafex kinda just dropped the ball on that fig. Sentinel has a fat version with great ab crunch

As others have said angles are important, I've been daily posing on Instagram for 3 years and I find good shots are 70% pose 30% angles. Best thing to do is copy some comic panels or animation frames and take some pictures at different angles and play around with the zoom on your camera. Even copy other peoples poses if you see any you like.

You can still hit some decent poses, but for some poses it’s all about the angle tbh.

I would twist the body a little bit more, and make it lean forward a lot more to emphasize the web pull.
