If you have Factions and the patience to wait till February, the Canthan New Year should bring a free rare miniature for 1 point.
If not, you can purchase a Pig, Rurik or Shiro - these were very cheap (5-10k) before the HoM reveal, no idea if price will rise now with Guild Wars 2 power leveling.
Unique miniature.
If you bought a Factions or Nightfall collector's edition, you can claim the unique miniature (once per account - don't go deleting the character!) by entering /special in your chat box.
This will get you the "Any Miniature Statue" and "Unique Miniature Statue" as soon as you get the Monument of Devotion active (have to play through Eye of the North to earn more tapestries, or take new characters through up to Gwen again), for 1 point apiece.
If you don't have either CE but do have all campaign, you can wait until you earn your Black Moa Chick further down the line (you'll need to visit a number of remote locations, spend 5k and accumulate 10 steel & 50 spiritwood).
If you don't have either CE or all campaigns, you're only real option is to buy a Black Moa Chick as the other uniques will likely be unobtainable within days of the HoM reveal (it's the only inexhaustible unique); the price was 20-30k previously though, and will likely rise now.
Any miniature.
If you're not keen on either of the previous 2 achievements, at least achieve "Any Miniature Statue" with Guild Wars 2 power leveling on its own by purchasing the cheapest miniature you can find; any of the 8 1st birthday series commons.
20 Miniatures.
"20 Miniature Statues" is quite ambitious if you're just starting out, and its feasibility is going to rest entirely on how the market settles; it's worth 2 points so it could be quite cost-effective compared to alternatives, but no way to assess that at this time.
The most practical advice I can offer is that you fill all of your character slots right away; more characters = more birthdays over the years, so while you may not reap any reward for this before GW2 power leveling it may yield booty some time in the future (costs nothing but a few minutes, and you can delete them if you ever need the space back).
If you don't see yourself ever reaching 20 with Guild Wars 2 power leveling, don't bother chasing or retaining any miniature beyond your 1st unqiue and your 1st rare - money has so many uses!
