Out of curiosity, how are you defining a “minifigure”? There are a lot of
things that are “sort-of” minifigs:
Personally, I drew a hard-and-fast line by saying that in order to be a
minifig, it had to have a minifig torso (yes, thereby eliminating skeletons
and LOM aliens and so forth as minifigs).
Also, are you looking to take into consideration other promotional
minifigures?

Dear Dave,
For now I would like to keep it open. Meaning that I do not want to exclude any
minifigure. I believe that these exotic examples are also a rather small
proportion of all figures and hence it might not matter that much. Would you be
interested in collaborating in this project?
Best regards,
/c

Hello,
We are working on an Minifigure identification software here at the Eindhoven
University of Technology. I have a keen interest in developing a taxonomy of
Lego Minifigures and within the framework of this project I am trying to take
photos of all figures ever produced by Lego. We would like to offer our services
to Minifigure collectors: We will visit you and take professional photographs of
your figures. You will receive a free copies of all photos. Of course we would
prefer collectors from Europe, since this would make the traveling much easier.
Alternatively, you cold also send us figures and we photograph them in our photo
studio.
Some example pictures are available here:

Please let me know you may be interested and do not hesitate to ask me any
questions you might have.
Best regards,
Christoph Bartneck

Ahoy!
I’ve always likes James Howse’s idea of Russian hats made from old style
tyres (see pics at http://www.ozbricks.net/grandmoffmclean/Brickingrad.htm).
(Historical note: the use of tyres as hats dates back to at least 1975.)

I also am very adicted to this topic. So I did some jobs in this area during the
last year.
