Figure 8 means that they capture both front and back but cancel out left and right side. Main uses:

Noise cancelation - As a room mic for drums, you can point it facing the drum set and have the guitar and bass cabinets beside it. If you don't have an amp room, this is the an option for keeping the bleed out of the drum room mic. It can also be done on a singer/guitarist so that the vocal mic cancels out much of the guitar and vice-versa.

M/S and Blumlein - There's lots of info on how to do these here at gearslutz. Use the search function. You'll need two mics, a figure eight and a non figure 8 mic.
