I actually noticed it was added back and so i asked the Crash Bandicoot forum to see what they thought.

Personally speaking i don't think the costume is that good of an example, there isn't anything that is unintentionally creepy about the costume and gives more of a Sad Clown vibe than anything

It's not a valid example at all. Uncanny Valley is not about any random thing that fans find creepy, it's about an unsettling grey area between realism and stylization. There is nothing realistic about Cortex, he is a cartoonish character whose proportions not even remotely resemble those of an actual human being.

I agree with Tanta, it doesn't fit by definition.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

Plus me for removal. Obviously cartoonish characters are not Uncanny Valley.
