This is *very* peculiar.
In the Danish catalog the Spider Man and HP figs clearly show 'natural' skin
tones. This was already hinted on by TLC, so it's very unlikely to be a printing
or lighting glitch.
But the new dutch catalog which the exact same pages and the exact same
photography, the same minifigs are clearly yellow!
I was very keen to inspect the skin tones and only noticed 'natural' skin in
small pics of the ferrari people.
So for some reason or the other, the catalog designers spend great effort to
hide or show the new skin colors, according to some erratic (or changing) TLC
marketing policy.
