Do you want to print anything with more than one color? Once you find out how much waste a normal "multi-color" printer produces to actually print in multi-color, you will not want to print in multi-color. However, there are now multi-toolhead printers that are much better at this.
Flashforge Creator 5 | $699 | $849 enclosed (4-Toolheads)
Snapmaker U1 | $849 (4-Toolheads)
Those will save you a bit of money in filament but more importantly, print much much faster. There are more options out there, but not in the sub $1k range. REMEMBER, multi-color does NOT equal multi-toolhead.
Do you want to forever print in one color? Then you probably have experience, get what you know you want. If you don't have experience, you LIE to yourself! You will want to print in color, spend a little more on a multi-tool head printer.

Ive had a dozen printers, with most being kinda before the recent wave of reliability. All of my FDM printers are still in storage after moving, and I'm only using my Saturn S resin printer because it's just farkin reliable and the parts are strong AF... But I've been wanting to add a new FDM to the garage to take advantage of all of these newer, reliability features...
If you were me, what would you get if you were looking for 3/5 in price, 4.5/5 in reliability, and 2/5 in printable media/colors? I don't print figurines, but I run CAD at work and have certainly printed my customers small shit that my boss didn't want to deal with on the clock.

If this is a business purchase then investing in the H2C or Prusa Core One + INDX system will open up a lot of possibilities with higher spec'd materials, multi-material printing and even multi-nozzle size printing. I don't have nearly enough experience to be able to narrow down anything else, lots of new reliable options out there and many many reputable youtubers reviewing them.
