KANJIKLUB hails from Nar Kanji, a Hutt colony world left in disarray following a gang war within the Hutt cartels. Formerly subjugated by the Hutts, the human colonists of Nar Kanji overthrew their overlords and struck out on their own.

During their long enslavement by the Hutts, the human colonists of Nar Kanji developed fighting styles that incorporated improvised weaponry, both melee and ranged. The modern Kanjiklubbers celebrate the ingenuity that kept their ancestors alive, and typically equip themselves with intimidating patchwork armor, jury-rigged rifles, blades, and clubs.

TASU LEECH (played by Yayan Ruhian) is the nominal leader of the scruffy Kanjiklub gang. Unlike their more organized and polished Guavian rivals, Kanjiklub resembles an unruly group of streetfighters and weapon-wielding thugs who dabble in extortion, piracy, and starship theft. Leech is not one for elaborate plans and rarely thinks beyond the next raid. Traditional to his frontier roots, he refuses to speak a word of Basic, deeming it a “soft language for soft people,” though he can understand it well enough.

In accordance with Kanjiklub tradition, the leader of the gang may be challenged to combat by his underlings at any time. Tasu Leech has defeated many would-be usurpers to his command. The raucous nature of Kanjiklub and the constant vying for dominance within the ranks means the ragtag group rarely operates well as a team, unless Tasu Leech is directly in command.

RAZOO QIN-FEE (played by Iko Uwais) is a lieutenant to Tasu Leech. He was banned from the underworld Zygerrian fighting circuit for suspected cheating — a remarkable feat in a sport that has no rules. A pyromaniac and tech expert, Razoo maintains the hodgepodge weaponry and explosives favored by the wild Kanjiklubbers, frequently upgrading and modifying their deadly tools of the trade to exacting and sinister specifications.

CROKIN SHAND (played by Cecep Arif Rahman) is a hard-bitten member of Kanjiklub. He is missing an eye and his right leg, injuries suffered during his career as a pit-fighter. His eyepatch and cybernetic leg — rigged to deliver fierce kicks — offered ample evidence that messing with him would be a potentially fatal mistake.

Miracles CAN happen.

I gave up finding this figure last year because stores weren’t getting in the last wave of Force Awakens figures with all the Finns and Zuvios clogging the pegs. So, I go into a random Walgreens across town today and

💥 BOOM 💥

There is Tasu Leech behind a Kylo Ren figure. I almost let out a squeal of happiness, but there were people around and I didn’t want to embarrass myself.
