Your Top 5 With Specifications.

Post by MaccaJack »

Hey Y'all I'm Jack and I'm new.

I've always been a huge fan of the Avengers, and recently I dug out my Steed/Emma box set of 12 inch figures. Realising how much i loved it again Im re-hooked.

I even persuaded my Dad to purchase the Emma Peel Mega Set for my Christmas present. Now I'm only familiar with Emma Peel and some of Tara King so this is what the post refers to.

So I want you to list your top 5 episodes under these specifications.
