For any molds I want to make I use a product called "mold builder" by Castin'Craft.
It can be found in most craft stores like Michaels and AC Moore and is relatively inexpensive.

It is a latex rubber product that you brush on your figures, layer by layer, until you build up a mold that is dense enough
to support whatever material you are casting in. by adding cheesecloth to the mold toward the end of the process
you can make a fairly sturdy mold that can be used multiple times.
Here is a good site that covers information about multiple types of mold-making compounds. The author doesn't recommend using brush on latex rubber, but I find it to be fairly forgiving. There is a lot of good information here that I plan on experimenting with in the future.

This is a bit of an old site and the pictures aren't that great, but the information may be useful.
CASTING (http://rbwindle.tripod.com/title.htm)
This one came in handy for making faces. Especially if you already have some sort of doll or model you just want to recreate.
