Statues For Your Garden

With the use of statues you can add a flair of whimsy or have a more formal garden. It of course depends on the statues that you choose.
Today you can get statues made of polyresin with are very light weight or pick the tradional concrete , brass or copper structures. I've even seen wood structures, though I'm not sure how they hold up. Anyone that has experience with this, comments are appreciated.
