Sanguine Statuette is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
When this artifact enters, create a Blood token. (It's an artifact with ",
, Discard a card, Sacrifice this token: Draw a card.") Whenever you sacrifice a Blood token, you may have this artifact become a 3/3 Vampire artifact creature with haste until end of turn.

Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.

- #4· Wizards of the Coast
If after becoming a creature, Sanguine Statuette becomes subject to an effect that reduces or increases its toughness, sacrificing another Blood token won't allow you to counteract that effect. For example, if a resolving spell gives it -2/-2 until end of turn, it will be a 1/1 creature, even if you set its power to 3/3 again.

- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If another effect sets Sanguine Statuette's power and/or toughness to another number, sacrificing a Blood token will set it back to 3/3. However, it would still be subject to any increases or reductions that are applying, as described above.
