FAN GROUPS
Mandalorian Mercs is a truly unique organization as it encourages membership applicants to focus on adding their personal and distinctive creative individuality as opposed to limiting them based solely on visual accuracy from the Star Wars™ films, books, comics, video games, and other media. The MMCC is an inclusive and friendly club, following the Mandalorian way of “Clans” or family units and a clans ability to adopt anyone who wishes to be a Mandalorian.
The Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club set the standards of Mandalorian costuming based on canon movie references (Boba and Jango Fett) as well as canonical comic-book references, book references, television shows and computer games. Our Costume Requirement Lists (CRLs) allow us to be more customized with our costumes, however, there is a minimum standard that must be reached; every Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club member is encouraged to strive for improvement.
The Mandalorian Mercs Vhe’rang Clan troops throughout the state of New Mexico and West Texas.

At The Island of misfit Morphs, we are dedicated to educating the public on how to respect the animals that get overlooked in society. Snakes , lizards, frogs, arachnids and even insects get a bad reputation through media, tall tales and word of mouth. These animals truly deserve our respect, they are a huge part of our eco-system and can actually be wonderful companions. Please give us a chance to show you how amazing these animals are.
The pet trade is a massive industry and dog and cats aren’t the only victims of neglect and abuse. we take in animals that are unwanted, neglected, handicapped or otherwise considered “defective” in the pet trade.

We love our misfits, they have character and also help us to teach children that just because you look different does not mean that you should be loved any less.
