I been searching on the web for resin mold kits for making bjd aka ball jointed dolls and all I get are kits for porcelain baby dolls. I’m also looking for online doll making classes.Please, if any one know where I can purchase the kit, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks

Try Michaels or hobby lobby.. Or any other local craft store.
You can look at Michaels.com to see their inventory but they won’t let you order offline
Also try ebay and etsy.. They both sell amazing craft supplies(:
I don’t think you can buy any BJD molds in the US. I think you would have to sculpt your own BJD (not easy to make a functional BJD) and then make molds yourself or if you are a professional and made a really good functional AND moldable BJD, you could contract a Chinese BJD maker to pour your molds but it is expensive.
Anyway – here is the best list of links about making your own BJDs. Note – many like the Noah’s doll tutorial but his neck is not normal. On a normal BJD the neck is an extension of the upper torso and has a rounded end and the head has a round shaped opening to rest on the neck. Inside the head there should be a way to attach elastic ( one example is grooved shelves to hold a removable stiff little metal bar that crosses from left to right inside the head at about mouth level.
