I remember back in the day I thought the few statues that they made were pretty awesome (Ink-Eyes, Shivan Dragon, etc), but couldn't afford it.
Nowadays, I would eat it up. A statue of my fav planeswalker? Yes please.
The thought came to mind because of the Dragonlords from Tarkir. Their art would make perfect statues.
I wish wotc would produce more merch like this. Do you?
I'd rather that they be figmas rather than statues. Ones made by Good Smile, for example, tend to have sculpts that are very nearly exact the source material. And I'd rather have the iconic creatures of magic, rather than planeswalkers. The only planewalker that I like is Jace. And, let's face it, he looks like a dull generic goth guy.

They already sell these as "figurines" but I personally would not buy any humanoid ones.
Bolas or Ugin, sure. Maybe Emrakul if it doesn't look like a ******.
From what I've seen, only a select few players would want something like that. The majority of Magic players would likely rather buy cards than statues/figures of their cards. It'd be nice if the statues/figures came with exclusive promo cards. I think that'd really be the only way to get them to sell well. The Funko Pops and Legacy figures sit and collect dust at my LGS. I'm sure some of them sold, but a lot of them just sat. With the comment about Good Smile, it feels like the Funko line is a bad imitation of Nendoroids and Figmas...
Now if they started doing bishoujo statues... Like this... I'd buy them for days.
I might, but not of anything they would be likely to print as a statue. I find all the main Planeswalkers really boring aesthetically speaking, and even some of the more interesting obscure ones aren't my cup of tea as household ornaments.
Now, art prints of certain cards? Yes, sign me up. I'd love Temple Of Mystery on my wall.
When the Kamigawa statues came out they rotted on shelves. Years later you could buy them for less than half of MSRP.
I think the Pops are doing better just because that product line is more popular and established. I really don't care for the storyline but if they made figures of some monsters I like I might buy a few.

Funko products can be found in a wide range of stores, find one that sell pop! products and they should be able to order legacy stuff too.
