Comments on the new model/design:

"Without a doubt the one you have now is the one I prefer
over any other on the market especially with your improvement. Functionally these are better in all 3 entries than the
5-$7000 models and I speak from experience."


"(Ginger head) She is awsome you are a genius.

Thanks for the head its absolutely fabulous its such a beautiful piece of work.

I found it difficult to get in at first, but once I was in WOW it was awesome. Its just what I wanted. I cant thank you enough."

Comments on the previous design:

"Thank you for the links. Also, I usually use ID LUBE with water-based lubricant. However, Walgreens only had WET LUBE, which also indicated it was water-based. Does WET LUBE have a reliable reputation as truly being water-based? The Cassi Doll is way better than the Realdoll. The private parts of the Cassi Doll are much softer and tighter on your doll, which is definitely my best compliment regarding your doll. Yours is almost 1/3 the weight of the Realdoll, which makes your doll more manageable to try various positions, which are impossible with Realdoll. I truly have to compliment you for creating a doll that is very beautiful, lightweight, much less expensive than a Realdoll, has tighter private parts, and I love the feel of the gel inserts in both the butt and breasts. I definitely like the Cassi Doll MUCH better than the Realdoll. Again, my suggestion is that you continue manufacturing the doll as is with foam limbs. I will likely decide to remove the doll's tongue, since penetration is halted in oral when the tongue moves up, rather than down. If it moved down, automatically, penetration in oral would be far deeper. You can tell everyone on the Doll Forum that you know someone who has both and that I definitely like your doll 100 percent more so than the Realdoll. I know that you will succeed with the Cassi Doll, since I can attest to your doll being much better than the Real Doll."

"Shrade, I hope you have applied for a patent or something for Cassi's soft and durable boobs and butt. They are a true wonder!"

meet Jane,or Joyce,
here is my Cassi torso doll with attachments. she has 4 looks with 2 wigs and 2 sets of eyes. of which two are Jane and Joyce. i will figure out who the others later. great for a painters model even with the small scale. easy to handle move. etc. clothing??? i do not know yet.
so much lighter than almost anything but the cheaper foamy and this is a work of fine art. at least the silicone parts. fantasy:some scale issues to overcome at first but the feel is top notch as is the handiwork. tight work in all ways. head has strange hard foam exposed under the wig? anchors wig well with 4 pins. i see a few blemishes and vent cuts as well as seams where i did not expect to see them. but you can see that in all pictures out there. i have pictures of the scale as well as the joint connections all is good. i hope
Shrade gets to work on your Cassi's and not his own. lol, just saw his head vid. believe me small or not Cassi, for the money , is very good . this looks like a full woman doll to my artistic eye! no shame in this attachment method for those who need less weight it is brilliant..
but, if all fails i do have a collectors item and a cheap art model over time. enjoy the pics.

"Hey all,
I don't usually like to post anything and prefer to just read and learn from what others have to say. But, I just got my hottie Cassi today.....and OMG is she hot, hot, hot!!!

Here is the full review:

I ordered the body 0 (with head and limbs) back in early December '09 and just got her today (3/22/10). The wait was long and, at times, frustrating. But, WOW was it worth the wait.

Specs: short dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, Asian tan skin tone

She arrived in a fairly small box (the size of a small beer refrigerator), very well packed, with the leg attachments unattached (hence the smaller box).

After a quick assembly of the legs with the provided single screw on each leg, my Cassi was finally official. She is so beautiful, I told Shrade that I literally spent the first 2 hours just staring at every inch of her.

Of course, animal instincts took over and I gently ravaged her Well, here it is: I can't stress this enough that all 3 openings are incredibly realistic...the way she looked, felt, sounded and even the way she smelled.
_ She was tight (like a virgin) when I entered her and she opened up as I got past the opening. She gripped me the whole time. With the snug fit, hearing the suction sounds (from all 3 holes) made me lose my mind (among other things...heehee). I thought the depth was also very realistic. I stuck my middle finger in the 3 holes and could barely touch the other end of the openings. This was realistic to me because when I used to finger my RG's, my finger pretty much reached the same depths.
_ Shrade definitely also gets a big thumbs up for the actual sculpt of Cassi. Every curve and subtle muscle definition was spot on.....from the collarbone to the slight indentation of her back backbone to her abs. Regarding her boobs, photos don't do it justice. In the photos, I thought the boobs looked a bit too conical and stiff. In reality, with gravity at work, her boobs had more of a natural hang (as opposed to shooting straight out from her chest). Her booty.....wow, wow, wow!!! Her booty is so nice and round that it creates this arched back in most positions, which is so hot to me. Furthermore, both the boobs and butt are very soft and realistic.

Lastly, I was expecting her to have some kind of synthetic smell. But, she actually had a pleasant baby powder, almost perfumy smell...definitely nothing objectionable at all.

My last thoughts about her is this: I had asked Shrade to color her limbs to match the color of the torso, which I think helped create a more complete body (visually). The actual color of the limbs didn't match her torso exactly. But, it is still much better than the styrofoam white that I saw in some previous posts. Her eyes: personally, I highly recommend darker eye colors for Cassi, so you don't get that dead-pan stare. My Cassi has dark brown eyes and it gives her such a warm, dark, smoky, sexy look instead of a zombie in a trance appearance (just my opinion). Lastly, be very careful when positioning her in different poses. The silicone portions of her body are fine. But, my Cassi tore her left foam leg (at the knee) when I tried to bend it too much.

Message to Shrade: At about 30 pounds, she is already a bit of an effort to maneuver around during fun time. Increasing her weight (due to silicone limbs or larger body size) would make her much more difficult to move around during fun time. I think you have the right idea making her limbs a lighter material than the torso. Perhaps a modified version where the limbs are still foam at the core but has an exterior coating of silicone (like the RSSD dolls)? Whatever the case, I congratulate and thank you for an outstanding job with Cassi.

Here are a couple of photos of my baby. You guys already know what she looks like naked :"

WOW, WOW, fucking WOW, i mean it's like, fucking WOW

holy shit shrade, you had me smoking a cig after each vid. 2 on the head vid.

hafta lay down now. can't move, legs are numb, fingers stiff, dehydrated, need water, ice would help too, need blood flow to resumn, heart beating way too fast!

shrade who does my family's lawer get in touch with if i have heart failure?

i'll just keep the package slip ,and tape it to my wall , with words on top saying, "in case of emergence please contact ... 

totally awesome, great job

"the cassi almost looks like a very large doll. you will probably enjoy the scale with your collection. it is even better looking in person i must say."

"Okay, for the reasonings for wanting two littles instead of one big.

1. I have SEEN Cassi in her 'foam arms and legs' form completed and sold!
(Don't want to wait for what could be a year or years for something I haven't
seen and no one has gotten yet!)

2. I want to pose AND have fun with these dolls, so they may get damaged
damaged fingers, arms, legs, or whatever, and I would like to be able to
fix those problems as they happen and not let them totally ruin the doll!

3. SIZE!! I have two full body pillows and SUPER SNUGGLY HOT wife and TONS
of medium sized (2 feet or under), small (1 foot or under), and super small (6 inches
or less) dolls ALL OVER THE PLACE! CASSI would be a GIANT at my house!

WEIGHT!! I don't EVER pick my wife up and hump her. I can pick her up and carry her around my yard, for fun, but she is too heavy to blast while standing. I'm not buying dolls for
their exercise value (whereas I would break a sweat lifting and plowing anything over
75 lbs)! When I stick it to my wife, she is aware of it (usually) and therefore will
lift a leg here, or stick up a butt there, but I don't do ALL of the work!!

4. COST!! Two for the price of half of one!!"



"Whats the head like, are the lips soft is the face softer than the rest of the body?"

"small but soft soft soft. and very well done. the top of the head has a skull cap under the skin to keep it rigid but the rest is all very pliable and skin like."

 

"god damn!
i need a cigarette"
 

"I have owned RDs, LDs, and Jewels and no other doll has more realistic feeling skin than Cassi"


 

Comments from the original/less developed torso:

"I’m highly impressed by the work done on Cassi so far. Besides the nice attributes that other owners have commented on, I especially like her beautifully engineered skeletal system and correctly placed vagina and anus, which together should make most if not all vaginal and anal sex positions possible."

"Totally AWESOME!

Second pic is the most amazing!
This doll body looks SCRUMPTIOUS!!

I gotta get one (you all should know that already, as I was one of the first to try and get one, before they were in this stage of development, and not quite ready for production)!!

I think the pictures look great, and I didn't have any problems at all with them loading immediately (although I have a pretty good computer and evil comcast internet that sadly is extremely fast.)

That doll body is amazing. You lucky bastard!!

You need to get these pics up on the cassidoll website for shrade so he can freak out at how many orders he gets all at once!!
I'm just saying,... that's what other garage makers do to help promote. Shrade needs to get work and pics that look this good on his site and right QUICK!!!

*dizzy"

"For all those that have been here - ordered and are waiting.

To all those who come to Cassidoll forum and are either lurking, investigating or contemplating on the purchase of a Cassidoll.

Many great things can be said about the Cassidoll and will continue to be said in the future. For all the pioneers of this great doll let me say this. Perhaps there is one great thing to think about here. Cassidoll has come a long way in a very short time in doll manufacturing time. Shrade is doing one hell of a job on not only trying to meet a very stiff demand but is also taking the time to address issues that may arise during production. I believe that Shrade has full intention of filling orders as quickly as possible but not at the cost of poor product.

This in time will make him a great manufacturer and will turn 10 fold profit for him. I'm sure he realizes that this Forum and all the discussion over the Cassidoll will remain in memory and he only wants to provide the best doll for the money.

Of course it's frustrating to have to wait - but follow the start of Cassidoll back and you would soon realize that never in the existence has Shrade just let a problem go. He is always there to address the issue - before they ship. I wish a lot of business would do that - take the time to really examine the quality and just take care of it instead of pushing mediocre product on consumers.

I for one was at first frustrated about the delay, but in all honesty I can completely understand and would not want anything but the best Shrade can do. So, for all those waiting and all those that will wait.... this time of mass production issues happens to every manufacturer in existence. No one can foresee every possible scenario which can arise, nor should they be expected to. It takes great determination to for one run your own business, and two, to have the integrity to only provide top quality product.

If two years down the road I found that my Cassidoll was suddenly becoming discolored and falling apart, I would have been shocked and wondered why... this is just an example of what most companies do - find a problem - stop production - fix it - then roll on. Props to Shrade!!

Not a vent - just clearing the road of any possible negativity. Shrade deserves it - and if each person realizes that there getting the best a person can provide then that should be enough. -- L

...cuz she's on the couch right now!

I type like a snail, so I'll try to be succinct.

Picked her up without incident at the po yesterday. By the time I got up to the window, there were like 8 people behind me, and the clerk took a while getting the package from back. I had a nightmare vision of her coming back with a damaged box with the doll hanging out and visible to all, but this was not the case and the transaction went smoothly.

The doll was packaged simply in bubble wrap in the box, with rolls of bubble wrap like blocking to immobilize her. In spite of this, she was able to slide around pretty freely in the box, a smaller box or peanuts might help with holding the doll in place more securely, though there were no damages from shipping. Pretty amazing considering what gorillas the parcel handlers can be.

Well, a small torso can not make a grand entrance like opening a crate and seeing a realdoll that looks like a live woman staring back at you. Nevertheless, it was very gratifying to see and handle something I had only seen in photos before. Pics can tell one only so much. I got the pale skin tone which i like, it's not white like housepaint, but has a faint bit of coloration, it's a good approximation of butt white, pale untanned skin. I think a face would look good in this shade. The material was a bit tacky so i washed her in the sink thinking it might be mold release. It's more a property of the silicone though, and powdering greatly mitigated this and gave the skin a soft silky feel. It was fun too. The silicone is nearly odorless, now it just smells like powder. It also has a bit of a claylike texture as others have noted with other silicone dolls, but is elastic and not malleable like clay. I havent observed any finger divots yet, I'll keep an eye out for this.

The seams are trimmed down well and look like pics of seams on all the major maker dolls, they don't bug me. the skeleton has a free range of motion and can be twisted into a pretzel, but the joints don't have enough resistance to hold a pose on their own. I'd like to see a pic of the skeleton, just to get an idea of what it is capable of. The weight is ok, the small size makes it seem dense. Definitely no foam fills on this one, it's solid all the way to the bones. A real learning experience, too. I almost bought a MPD Leeloo last year, and moving Cassi around, I can only imagine wrestling 115 lbs.! There's no provision for hanging, so I'm storing her laying on her back on a small towel.

The entries work nice. In my search for better entries for a latex doll, I tried several different "stroker" toys and several had the problem of a too narrow entry and too firm material, making them impossible to get into. Cassi is very stretchy and very soft inside, the vag is definitely easier to get into though. You can stick your finger in and feel the ultra soft silicone that the canal is made from, I guess it was cast as a seperate piece and then held to the skeleton while the doll body was poured around it.

Overall this is a well thought out concept with good sexual functionality and a good build quality. At a current price of $750 for the torso, it represents a price to value ratio that few other doll makers have aproached. I'm as eager as anyone to see the rest of the body, but I have a hunch the manufacturer is first clearing his in basket of a lot of backorders that accumulated during late r&d before doing new mold work.

Great job, Shrade!

My fingers are seriously about to fall off, I need a break!"

"Cassi just arrived yesterday! I have the custom Asian tan skin tone. As promised, pictures can be viewed here:


Now for the review. I have only had one other doll, a Realdoll B7. In my opinion, Shrade has out done himself. Let me start by saying the weight of the doll is great. I did not like lugging around 92 lbs with the RD. I am a gym rat, so it was not because I am out of shape. Its just by the time I moved the RD around the way I wanted, I was too tired to have sex. And then it was difficult to change positions on the fly. Cassi is a completely different story. The torso is 24 lbs. So with the head and limbs I can't imagine she will be more than 40 lbs. This is the first of several things that make sex with Cassi great.

Secondly, the body looks and feels very real. The back assembly Shrade designed is great.

Thirdly, the detail and proportions are perfect. She really looks like she has muscles. And they look they way they are suppose to when she is bent.

Fourthly, the vagina has a GREAT feel. Much better than my real doll. The hole is small, but expands with great ease and creates a suction with use. The anal is a little tighter. When I went back and forth, it was virtually impossible to keep from exploding inside her. It felt amazing.

Fifthly, the silicone used seems very durable, unlike my RD. I was pretty rough with her yesterday and no damage done.

Finally, because of the size and weight, cleaning was a breeze. I laid her on the sink counter and used a turkey baster with soap and water. Then set her up to dry.

If sex is this great now, I can hardly imagine what it will be like with the head and limbs. Shrade said they should be ready in about 2 weeks.

Kudos to Shrade for making a truly great doll at a great price!"
