While I like the mace Hawkman came with, it sits a little too loosely in his hand, so I went looking for a replacement. On eBay I found a range of approximately 1/12th scale diecast weapons under the brand name “Mononofu.” I ordered the mace, which also came with a shield and a little stand.
The price and shipping were surprisingly cheap (particularly since it was coming from Hong Kong). The weapons are well-sculpted and look almost tailor-made for Hawkman. The mace head is made from diecast metal, while the shield and the haft and handle of the mace are made from plastic.
The shield also has a handle, which unfortunately means Hawkman can’t hold it properly, since his right hand is a fist. However, the mace fit in his left hand like a charm, and I think it looks even better than the mace he came with. But don’t take my word for it!
The weapons came in a box that features one of the finest examples of Engrish I’ve ever come across:
Leave and go up! It has weapos in your hands.
For justice, I keep honor of the soldier who came through a battlefield of 100 training for a person, and the thing which I defeat an enemy and defeated may say with true arms.
I inherit will of a great brave man, and I can revive with thunder now, and it is “MONONOFU.”
I think that about says it all, don’t you?

MWC: Indeed, same company! Funny how they seem to work with both 1/6- and 1/12-scale figures…

I think these were made by the same company:
