I do know that Executioner was listed as part of the Thor wave recently got though. I have no idea what happened. Perhaps Executioner was planned but wasn't very budget conscious (especially in a wave where the tooling budget went to three brand new movie figures with limited reuse potential), so Hasbro just figured repainting the Ares BAF would be cheaper. Is it possible someone even got Ares and Skurge confused? They do have some superficial visual similarities (big guys in black armor wielding battle axes).

Anyway, some clarification on Black Knight. He's part of the second Infinity War wave, not the one we've already seen part of with Songbird, King Cobra and Taskmaster.

Yeah, I figure that the wave got cancelled and they just did a two pack and the SDCC set instead. It's kind of a shame we did not get a classic comic Thor or Loki out of the whole deal, a shame and surprising. And of course, Executioner.

As far as Black Knight, the fact he probably will come with the Garrett headsculpt makes this a probable buy for me. I was going to lay off getting him because I already have the original Hasbro Black Knight, but have them oppose each other would be nice. I don't know though - costs outside of collecting are mounting up - a huge vet bill (though dog's doing okay) a new(er) car now this month and still planning to build the house over the next year...I honestly don't know if I can AFFORD to collect anymore. The only things I'm sure I'll be getting will be Songbird and the X-wave. I really do want more but I may have to wait for a while..like a year or two.
