It's a recent thing, I think. First time I recall seeing the freckles was in J. Scott Campbell's artwork around the time of One More Day/Brand New Day, and that look seems to have stuck based on the recent(ish) Iron Man covers I've seen.

Not thrilled by the idea that I'll end up with a current comic version of Spider-Man if I want MJ in the collection. I understand the glowing symbol/eyes are supposed to evoke the radioactive spider... but it looks weird to me.

But, Hasbro insists civilian characters don't sell, so I guess it's necessary.
