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.

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?

You are right, it is easier to try to find collectors in Europe and I am working
hard on it. Maybe you know some as well? I will try to call one in NL on Monday
and I will know more. Thank you for your offer to contribute specific figures! I
will come back to it!
