Like, if I had a statue made of pure nickel that was the same volume as a human, what would it weigh?

Most of our body is made up of water. Our overall density is very close to 1 grams per cubic centimeter (1 g/cm^3).
Nickel, on the other hand, has a density of about 8.908 g/cm^3....almost 9 times that of water.
The weight/mass of an equal volume of Nickel would be 8.91 times that of the original person's weight/mass.
If a person had a mass of about 75 kg (165 pounds), they would have a mass of about 668 kg (about 1470 pounds) if they were made of Nickel.

look up the density of nickel, multiply by the volume of an "average" person. this gives the mass of nickel (mass = volume * density). then calculate the weight from the mass (weight = mass * gravitational constant).

Humans have a denstiy of about 1
Look up density for Nickel and mult. by avg person's weight

The "average" human has a density of ~1.0 grams/cc, whereas Ni has a density of 8.9 g/cc.
