The membership of the gang now exceeds 2,000 individuals worldwide. To become a member one must be of Tubby origin (plump, primary colour, peach face, big eyes etc) and be "hard as nails, but soft as tubby-custard". Once a new member has proved his mettle he is awarded a shape to attach to his head. The head shape indicates rank with in the gang, with various shapes representing different ranks or chapters within the gang.
Violence within the gang membership is common if a member breaks "Da Tubby Code", which consists of three points:
Never snitch.
Broez before Hoez
Again! Again!
If the code is violated, results can be dire. It is reported that one original gang member "Dipsy" was found dead with a knife in his anus after snitching up another member, "La-La" to the pigz for performing illegal sex acts.
Original known members include:
Tinky Winky (Boss Dogg)
Dipsy (Arms Dealer)
Laa-Laa (Drug Trafficker)
Po (Head Ho)
Noo-noo (Custard Trafficker)
