Why can't they just get it right to begin with. So now The Thing will also be color corrected me thinks.

I could maybe see that applying to Spidey here, but the Johnny Storm figures are two different costumes that appeared in the comics. Even the darker Spider-Man can draw a link directly to the comics.

When Spider-Man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15, they used darker colors so the blue in his costume was almost black and the red was dark as well. In fact, there was a Marvel Legends release based on this printing error. My guess is this version of MU Spider-Man was done for similar reasons.

However, it's all speculation at this point until we get confirmation directly from Hasbro about it.
