If you want the backdrop sheet to show properly, tilting it for display is definitely the better option.

5 feathers are attached to a clear support arm.
Since the feathers mount on a ball joint + rotation mechanism, you can freely position them at all kinds of angles.

The feathers flying through the air look pretty impressive, but again, they don't stand out as much against a bright background.

This kit is the Expansion Effect Unit "Seraphim Feather" for the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW, released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's a unique display base that includes a remodeled Action Base 2 stand along with 10 feather units. The backdrop sheet used on the base is double-sided, so you can flip it for two different looks.

The feathers come in 5 different sculpts, 2 of each, all in a milky clear material. They're secured to clear support columns via ball joint and rotating joint parts, which means you can position them freely at any angle. The hold is solid too, so they stay put nicely once you've got them where you want them.

Two support columns can be added to the back of the base to tilt the backdrop sheet forward for display. If you prefer, you can remove the columns and store them in the base for a flat layout. And as you can see in the review photos above, since the feathers are so light in color, the visual effect really does come through a lot better against a dark background.

All in all, this is quite a unique display base kit, and for fans of the RG Wing Gundam Zero EW, it's a pretty attractive accessory to have. :-)
