Having been a statue collector in the past (and still have them all), I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one. From my understanding, anything that isn’t hand sculpted, is pretty much all done in Zbrush.
I do remember a project here in the past that started with a 3D render and then the person 3D Printed it all, assembled and painted. It looked really good and I think he did all the modelling in Blender. I just can’t for the life of me find the thread again.
Edit: I did find this one: Bride Princess Peach tho that wasn’t the one I was thinking of. As that had chainmail, a proper base, etc.
