Takara released
the reproduction of Microman M14X Type in December of 1999. This was the
first time in over twenty years that the M14X Spy Magician had been
reissued by Takara. When Roman-do reissued Microman toys in 1997,
they only released the M13X type and collectors had been waiting for the
reissue of M14X to complete the Spy Magician line up. Beside the
reproduction of vintage M14X, Takara also released a clear M:I:S version
and a gray SAS version. Beside the colors variants, in early 2001
Takara also released a new member for the M14X named M140 Hawk. The
figure was patterned after the two prototype Spy Magicians that appeared
in early 1970's Microman Spy Magician catalogs.

A
year later after the reissued of M14X Type, Takara decided to reissue
the M13X Spy Magician. The reproduction versions of the original four
M13X Type were sold in November of 2000. Takara reissues fixed much of
the problem that plagued the versions re-issued by Romando in 1997.
Beside the original colors, Takara also released special Clear Mode as
Toys R Us Exclusive. (The Clear Mode actually came out before the
regular version). A new member M130 Duke was sold along with M140 Hawk
as part of the Spy Leaders set. M130 was modeled after the prototype
figure that appeared in early Spy Magician catalogs from 1970's. In
2002, Takara released special Silver M13X as part of the Robotman
Reinforced Tactic set. The set came with white A30X Acroyear and
released as a cross promotion with Robotman and Henshin Cyborg.
