Flail's came in a wide variety of formats - the "morning star" variety (ball

True, to a point. Most flails were made to crush armor, not get stuck in it.
The spikey ball was used, but more so with small, somewhat rounded tips.
You know, just enough to crack the armor...and skulls of course.

It could be done in a mold, but the spikes would be limited.

How many do you need to sell to justify the molds?  Just curious - not looking
for state secrets.  :-)

Well, let's look at the basic needed parts - Helmet/shield/weapon. There
could be armor and a second weapon, but let's stick with the basics.
I'd have to charge around $5 minimum per set. If I could sell 1000 sets,
all would be good. That should give you an idea of costs, roughly.

Did I mention that I take donations?
