Yes.
Look at what’s happening (and what’s said) for the Studio Gallery.


  I'm not a lawyer, but I wouldn't think so.

IANAL either but it has already been ruled a violation on the Gallery.


  But as mentioned bellow, these would
fall under MOCs, which I believe are free use.

I believe you have to think again.

It wouldn't be a comprehensive list of every combination of Minifigure components.
Users would submit their figure, and then there would be a list of components
that correspond to the appropriate official pieces within the market. I hope
that makes sense.

  Wouldn't the part inventory just correspond with the official parts listed
in the Market? Just like official figures, you'd click on the figure and
see what the components are and what figures and sets they come from.

There is an almost infinite number of combinations of headgear / heads / torso
assemblies and legs. They cannot all be added and if they were, then they end
up being useless as you cannot possibly view them all.
