It's true enough that polystone does add some weight to a statue.
Here is an alien monster Casey Love did with transculent resin. I don't know if it will work that well on human characters though? It sure worked out in Casey Love's case.

I thought this statue wase made of resin.
Kotobukiya's Star Wars vinyl figures don't have seam lines, so it is possible to make statues without seam lines when using plastic.

Nope, that's all PVC.

Vinyl and PVC aren't exactly the same. ( Link)

Vinyl actually isn'’t a plastic… or anything at all really. People seem to mistake that Vinyl is a plastic of some sort seen in some Kotobukiya figures. (really old Final Fantasy 8 figures, Star Wars figures, Matrix figures). Most of these Kotobukiya figures are hollow inside, meaning that the figure is constructed out of various hollow tubes put together. In actuality, Vinyl is any compound that includes a “vinyl group” (this gets into chemistry. If you’re interested, look up “Ethylene”). So in essence, PVC is a vinyl. Just that those Kotobukiya figures use a different type of PVC compound that’s a lot softer and thinner, making them highly flexible. “Vinyl Figures” are by far the worst for the environment because of the “softening” additives.
