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?

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?
