It's not the Takara heads - a head is a head is a head, the old ones had heads too
What it really is, is simply that they price scaled to match the current Kingdom/SS86 deluxe price, which 32.99
"these are deluxes, deluxe cost 32.99, hence these cost 32.99"
Doesn't matter what it used to cost, it's what it costs now (regardless of how much it cost to "produce"
If I want these for $20, gotta hop in a time machine

Exactly. Inflation is a b@#$. Pretty much everything costs more now than it did 4 years ago. Also I am pretty sure most companies haven't changed how they make their products in the past few years but are charging more.
That said I agree that the price is getting out of hand. Which is why I haven't bit on a lot of recent offerings. Unless on sale as others have said.
The reality is the hobby is getting too expensive so who knows where we'll end up in the next couple of years.
