any minifigure. I believe that these exotic examples are also a rather small

By a quick count at BrickLink, I found 235 “iffy” minifigs-- But I knowingly
skipped Fabuland, Jack Stone, Technic, Belville, Scala, Galidor, and Bionicle.
Knowing the above, I’d guess it’d be in the ballpark of 300-500 borderline
minifigs?

Would you be interested in collaborating in this project?

Yes and no-- I’m not in Europe, but I’d of course be happy to see such an
endeavor, especially if the logistics are handled well. For instance, will they
be kept in a searchable online database? How will they relate back to years of
release and sets? How will it be maintained going forward? Will it denote
differences in part variation (like hollow/solid stud head, torso design, arm
design, etc)?
I’ve got an extensive collection, although it’s not overly distinctive from
other people’s in Europe. I’m sure it’s easier for you to find (say) BlackTron
figures or ResQ figures in Europe. I expect my value added would be in the few
“special” minifigs I own, like the Red Sox promotional figure pictured above.
Do you have a catalog of “missing” figures that you KNOW are missing, and/or a
catalog of figures that you already have?
