You can cut out part of the manual and use it as a flag.

This kit is the SD Hakuryu Gundam released as part of the New SD Sengokuden: Strongest on Earth arc. As you can tell at a glance from the backpack, it's based on the Gundam GP01 FB concept, and it comes with the dragon horse "Bai" so you can have the Gundam ride on top of it.

On top of the gimmick of assembling parts while still on the runner, you can also cut out a section of the manual to use as a flag, and the spring-loaded projectile-firing gimmick is built into the mouth of dragon horse "Bai". On top of that, the Twin Dragon Sword can be stored in the shield on the back, or combined with the shield to be used as a weapon. In the chest, the Nikidam — a key item from the Strongest on Earth arc — is rendered in silver plating and stored inside.

The articulation doesn't stray too far from your typical old-style SD level, but you can pull off some unique poses with the Gundam mounted on the horse. As the centerpiece unit of the Strongest on Earth arc, this seems like a fun kit to build for anyone who's a fan of this series. :-)
