Maschinen Krieger 1998 - Present

Ten years after the demise of SF3D, Ichimura-san began to realize that in his travels abroad, he often saw the kits represented at hobby events. Simultaneously, Yokoyama-san was receiving a stream of SF3D fan letters from abroad, and magazines were featuring the kits. When he connected to the Internet for the first time, Yokoyama-san was amazed to discover SF3D fan sites in Japan, USA, and Australia.

  Coincidentally, Nitto was trying to resurrect itself, and asked Yokoyama-san to reissue the kits. He agreed, but Hobby Japan refused. A court decided that Yokoyama-san held the intellectual rights to the designs, but the name "SF3D" was registered to the magazine. Some faithful fans abroad were contacted, and a new name was coined - Maschinen Krieger ZVB3000, which was a term used previously in the series, with the "ZVB3000" added. This name is usually contracted and appears as "Ma.K." (It is also a nod to the Macintosh Computer, which the Ma.K. designers use).

  By the late 1990s, Maschinen Krieger, or "Ma.K." was back. Nearly all of the kits saw re-release, and the Internet helped greatly with the series' exposure. Fans outside of Japan relied on Hobby Link Japan and Sentai to get the kits again, and eBay was always a source for the originals. Model Graphix continues to support Ma.K. by showcasing new designs and reports on upcoming kits and figurines.
