Hi Mike :wave:

You should find the numbers for those parts on this page:

http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5786 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5786)

The PlaymoDB is an invaluable source of information on set contents and part numbers. 8-)
 
Here's the search page for future reference: http://www.playmodb.org/playmodb.shtml (http://www.playmodb.org/playmodb.shtml) :)

The only round Chinese hats which I've seen were the custom-made ones.

See this topic by Jimbo: Playmo rickshaw (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=972.0). That hat was made with card and paint. :)

I think that knightmo borrowed one of Jimbo's hats for his Samorai custom which you linked to.

There are also some similar hats on macgayver's website (http://www.macgayverplaymobil.be/).
Click on the "Photo Gallery" link in the left Navigation section and then "Chinese Klickies" about halfway down the right-side column. I can't remember what Michael (aka macgayver) used to make his but I'm sure he'd be happy to tell you.

If I remember correctly, MacGayver's hats were completely custom made.

I am sure I saw a tutorial on MacGayver's site as to the making of those hats.

It isn't a mace but a ball and flail.   If you query on flail on PlaymoDB it brings up all the parts.  Alternatively, query on 3666 (the large castle) or 3125, the knights Superset.

Gordon is quite right; I had always though these were called Morning Stars, but I was wrong. A morning star was a wickedly spiked mace.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail_%28weapon%29

If you have to order 5x handle, 5x chain and 5x ball, the DS price would rapidly add up to close to this eBay price, but every time I've had one of these in a set, the 3 component parts have been together in a sealed mini-bag, so I suspect if you order, say one handle, you'd get all 3 parts anyway.  Let us know what happens Mike.

As a weapon the Flail has always seemed particularly vicious, but awkward and requiring much skill and practise to wield without danger to the user or his fellows. In skilled hands though, it might be used to pull a sword or shield out of someone's hand.
