Never. Buddha is not a deity.

Some people may think of the Buddha in times of stress a "What wou;d Buddha do now?" moment. This is not, however, a request for intervention as is expected from Christian saints.

Are Buddha statues idoltary?

The Buddha, whose name was Gautama Siddhartha, was not a god, but was a religious teacher. People pray to the Buddha in much the same sense that a Catholic might pray to a saint (and might have a statue or emblem of that saint). A statue of the Buddha is not any more idolatrous (and not any less) than a statue of the Virgin Mary, or a sculpture of Jesus Christ on the cross. Of course, Christians are more likely to approve of statuary with a Christian theme, than statuary whose theme derives from some other religion. Secular Americans often stand and contemplate statures of their heroes (Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, etc.) This is not considered idolatry only using a "thing" to focus one's thoughts. It is the same with a statue of the Buddha.
