Uncanny Valley doesn't apply. It would apply if they put a skin-and-fur-like shell over the body and tried to give it a life-like head, with eyes, nose, mouth and tongue, and it looked almost perfect, but not quite good enough to pass as the real thing; just enough to make it seem off the mark somehow. A white plastic shell hardly comes close; it would just provide a more attractive veneer.
