Maybe you could try starting with a cylinder and building it up at the top & bottom to make the peanut shape? And I'd think that making the facial features thinner would make them more fragile, maybe you could put them in lower relief if you want the features to look lighter? And how many parts are you planning on making the mold? I'd think you'd need a 5 part mold, and maybe even more, to make something with that kind of relief.
