Takara released Replica Microman M11X in April of 2000 and followed by the companion series M12X in May of the same year. The reissued M11X was the first "new" reproduction toys produced by Takara since the released of Spy Magician back in December of 1999. (Most of the Replica toys released in between were either exclusive recolor versions of the previously reissued Microman or special edition varieties. Both the M11X and M12X appeared to came from the new molds recast from the vintage figures. There were some small noticeable differences between the new version and the vintage 1970's series. The new figures also appeared to be a little shorter (artifact of the recast process). The figures overall however were very nice and unless one were to put the old and the new side by side, it would be very hard to discern the differences. |

Takara would later reissued M11X and M12X with these Prototype Head as M115 Ban and M125 Morgan.
