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. 

 

Microman Spy Magician

 

Microman Spy Magician were revived near the beach where the Acroyears first emerged from the polluted ocean depth.  They are the expert in intelligence gathering and fight against the Acroyear by using their spy ability.  With the growing power of the Acroyears, Microman Spy Magician form MCIA (Microman Central Information Agency) to train other Microman in the art of spy.

Spy Tools

Magic Wand: Teleportation device to help expedites spy activity.

Spy Bracelet: By altering the ESP wave randomly it allow the Spy-Magicians to communicate with 5 other members simultaneously without interference by Acroyear.  The bracelet also maximize the ESP power of Microman to allow him to use United Will.

United Will: by utilizing bracelet ESP function combine with the teleport wand, the Spy Magician can merge his psyche with another Microman. For this reason untrained Microman is excluded from wearing the Spy Magician Bracelet.

 

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.

 

Reissued Spy Magicians were sold in facsimile of the old display box.
