I tried Acrylics and water color, and they are both too shiny on my sculptures. I want them to have a non shiny look just like store brought figurines.

You could still use acrylic but seal them with matte medium. it's a clear acrylic base and comes in gloss and matte. Matte will not be shiny.

Years ago I made a series of earthenware fruit and vegetable pieces. I used acrylics to most accurately represent the natural colours. I then sealed them with a matt polyurethane varnish finally dusting them off with fine french chalk just before they had completely dried. This process produced a very satisfactory matt finish which also proved to be very hard wearing.

Why not give Tempra paints a try?
I'm not sure how good they'd look or how durable they'd be, but they are cheap and water-soluable if you dislike the result
