Your first priority will of course be the most difficult, since
the entire weight of the model will be exerted on those legs
(assuming the arms are crossed or in a fighting position). I’ll
just theorize on this and guess that a system of multiple hinges
for each joint would help to alleviate the stress, but a problem
would lie in its execution (hinges stacked on each other will not
fold properly.) A solution may involve using 1/2 stud offsets, but
then the shape begins to seriously distort.
This particular part
may prove useful though.

5 If you’re not aiming for a mechanized design, try at all
costs to attribute an ‘organic’ look to the design. Also,
take some consideration into attaching a number of fins
or other accentuations for your aesthetic license.
Looking forward to your results.
