A bjd face-up is the make up on the doll. Bjd's like b&g dolls, fairyland dolls, souldoll, hujoo, etc. all have face-ups that require extra money. Bjd's with face-up and the make up is no extra cost are usually pullips. I hope this helped. ;)
They are MSD, I believe.
Well, it depends on what you mean by that. If you mean a bjd (ball jointed doll, such as obitsu), then you can get the parts for it many places online. You can customize it to a very large extent.
look for it secondhand on BJD forum--I'd suggest the Den of Angels forum, Zone of Zen, or another BJD forum, and doing a Want to Buy post. You probably won't find this doll on eBay. You may find a recast version (a bootleg or knockoff) on there, however), and you'll probably want to stay far away from those. Bootlegs end up making the rest of the BJD market drop in value, and you won't get the same quality as you would from Soom. Also, Soom often will reissue their limited edition dolls in another form from time to time, so be sure you've sign up on their email list! You won't want to miss it if the doll becomes available.

There are books that show you how to sculpt a BJD. Most artists start with clay, which is then made into a silicone mold (it has to be a flexible mold), which is used for pouring the liquid resin mixture into, once the entire doll is complete. Then, you'll need to be sure to sand each piece smooth, and string the doll together.If you're in the Los Angeles area this weekend (April 24-26, 2014), Be With You BJD company is sponsoring a workshop at the Korean BJD Show in which they provide everything you need to sculpt your first BJD head. It's limited to 40 people, and the cost is $145. It looks like they use an oil-based clay, and they start with a pre-fabricated head base, complete with teeth and eyes. They use a credit card to smooth out the clay once the sculpt is complete.I know of two books to help you get started:Ryo Yoshida's Yoshida Style Ball Jointed Doll Making Guide (which is in Japanese, but includes lots of photos), and Aimi's Ball Jointed Doll Making Guide (which is also in Japanese). Both books include lots of photos, so the language may not be a barrier.The sculpting process aside, you should be aware that if you plan to make your doll in resin, you will need a vacuum chamber to remove all the air bubbles from the liquid resin once your molds are ready. From what I've seen from other sculptors online, this process can be pretty arduous, but if it sounds like it's interesting, go for it. It's just not a weekend project!
Yes- they are lifelike & detailed, very flexible like bjd's too. on the other hand you can't interchange their eyes or customize them as much as bjd's :)
polyp! The star coral is attached and is faceup
No, usually then just twist on or are magnetized.
