Yup, totally sqishy-bendy. They were formed over the monster high doll heads, so you can take the 'wig' off and it's like a mold of the head on the inside. Cuz that's what this stuff was intended to be. Molds. Ha. So they come off and go back on super-easily.

Specifically, they were made with this stuff - Alumilite Amazing Mold Putty Kit

To make the pinkish-red one, I had to mix in a small amount of silicone rubber-compatible dye. When I tried using some other type of dye I had for resin casting, it messed up the chemistry and the silicone didn't set right. So if you want to paint anything made this way, you've got to make sure you use silicone compatible paints.

I ended up just leaving them solid colors because I didn't have any of the right sorts of paint.

The silicone totally bonds to itself, so you can do things in pieces and they fuse together.

Also important to keep in mind that it's not really possible to sand or clean up this stuff after the fact. Once it's set, that's pretty much it.

For your first BJD, I'd recommend saving a little longer and buying one with a faceup. A lot of times it can actually end up cheaper than buying all the materials. A lot of sellers have layaway, for example Soom, Denver Doll and Alice's Collections. If you're buying used, some sellers also offer layaway.

If you feel like trying it yourself though, there are lots of tutorials here. You do need sealant (Usually Mr. Super Clear) and special elastic. The elastic is round and very strong, not like elastic meant for sewing. Sometimes really tiny dolls are strung with monofilament, like fishing line. Dolls normally come strung though, so that shouldn't be an issue. Dolls are occasionally sold as kits, but it's not common at all.

I'm not sure why a lot of BJDs look sad; I like to have dolls with a variety of expressions. The great thing about BJDs is that there's so much variety, you can find (or create) any expression you like.
