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.
Take it from someone who works with 2-5 RA surfaces all day... the finer the finish, the harder it is going to be to protect it - and without the use of liberal sanding or finishing it's going to be rough for you to churn out anything close to what a well programmed CNC lathe capable of 9000+ rpm can do. I use this - https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Super-Clear-Flat-Spray/dp/B002DTL7ZS#customerReviews on my models, it holds up very well, I can't imagine it'd do any worse on a top.
If you’re looking for a matte sealer, maybe you could try Mr. Super Clear?
It’s a very popular sealant in doll customization, I’ve heard good things:
It’s on amazon
