Boy, I wish my digital camera was already put together, as I have a TON of one shoe/shoe dangle anime figures in my room I could take pictures of (well, actually I COULDN'T take pictures of most of them, since they are still in their boxes and the flash would just bounce off the plastic windows and you wouldn't see anything. And I can't take them OUT of the boxes without destroying their value. but there are a few, I suppose).
The real problem with getting such figures (besides having to troll though innumerable other ones and of course, how expensive they tend to be.) is that it is almost impossible to get a figure once it has gone off market. There really isn't much, if any secondary market for the things, when people buy them, they tend to keep them. Or how I wound up with a bootleg of one of them, because I didn't know better ( you can tell it's a bootleg because 1. it's the wrong size, and 2 whoever sculpted it decided to add naked breast and privates, which the original doesn't have.).

I managed to find listings for one of mine on eBay (unfortunately the only two people who sill have it are only offering it as part of the complete set, and it's a LOT more expensive now that when I bought mine). But it actually IS closer to what you said you wanted in your kit figure.

Actually, for that one, you want the Manga Book as well, as it has THREE shoe loss pictures (Note, you'll need the full sized Japanese version of the book, not the translated one, as the translated one cuts out one of the pictures (the one the figurine is based on)

Actually, when you consider the number of shoe loss pictures there are from the series (as part of the battle damage) that isn't surprising.
