Karamatsu in his costume on the cover of the "Almost Almost All Illustrations" Artbook. He sits on the sofa with a lot of plushies waiting for him and takes pleasure in it.
Mod Note: The plushies shown in this set sadly aren’t actual real life plushies. The plushie that Karamatsu is holding is Karla Pinefield (written like カーラ, ka is extended with a vowel extender and since ra and la are the same katakana, Kaara can be read as Karla (or Carla)) from the Musical AU. Here are close ups of the Karatsugu plush:
In celebration of Hesokuri Wars’ 3rd anniversary, an Almost All Illustrations Artbook + Bonus OST CD was released. On the cover it features the sextuplets in exclusive designs for the book holding plushies of the most popular AUs from Hesokuri Wars. These designs would be later used in a Hesokuri Wars set. The characters and AUs are as follows
Osomatsu - Hong Cuung from Matsu Noir
Karamatsu - Karla Pinefield from Musical AU
Choromatsu - Choromatiu Matsunov from Vampire AU
Ichimatsu - Ichimatsu from Yakuza Wolf
Jyushimatsu - Toshio Ogami from Denki Mystery
Todomatsu - Bake-danuki from Yokai AU
Mod note: Sorry this post is out of order! This should’ve been before I posted the Denki Rough Concepts but for some reason my Queue broke. The book itself isn’t out of order and you can find it on eBay. You can probably find them for cheaper from Japanese online shops, but I’m not so sure on the shipping costs.
Osomatsu in his costume on the cover of the "Almost Almost All Illustrations" Artbook. He is trying to make a fortune from his many plushies, so he starts selling them for profit.
Mod Note: The plushies shown in this set sadly aren’t actual real life plushies. The plushie that Osomatsu is holding is Hong Cuung (pronounced Hong Tsuung) from the Matsu Noir AU. Here are close ups of the Ozo plush:
This is the process of deciding on the character design for Denki Mystery. Toshio's face underwent detailed adjustments, right down to the direction of the slant of his eyes. On the other hand, Chorosuke, who is not here, was decided in one shot.
Scanned by the lovely @0somatsu, you can find the rest of their scans over here! Thank you so much for letting me use them!!! These design roughs were included with the Almost All Illustrations Art Book.
Mod Notes:
Ozo’s initial clothes seem to be more in line with a traditional Japanese Taxi driver’s uniform. His hairstyle has been the same with comb over bangs, but his soft hair swapped with Hajime’s sharp hair at some point.
Karatsugu initially had a different shirt, a light blue button up with the sleeves rolled up, this was swapped for his black polo in the final design.
Hajime went through the most changes. His sharp hair was swapped with Ozo’s fluffy hair at some point. His wardrobe consisted of a straw hat, circle rimmed glasses, a shirt pocket and a wristwatch at some point. His eyebrows hasn’t been finalized and at some point was short and sparse like the eyebrows he has in the anime, the final product has him with regular eyebrows. Hajime’s round rimless glasses are later reused for his father’s design
Toshio’s hairstyle had a minor change at one point. And true to the comment from the designers, His face went through multiple changes.
Takashi’s only concept sketch is him without his personal effects, his hat and his beads.
Ichimatsu in his costume on the cover of the "Almost Almost All Illustrations" Artbook. He found the plushies to be good substitutes for a cat toy. Fortunately, he seems to have plenty of spares.
Mod Note: The plushies shown in this set sadly aren’t actual real life plushies. The plushie that Ichimatsu is holding is from the Yakuza Wolf AU. Here are close ups of the Hajime plush:

Denki Mystery's 10th unit is here! It's also the 3rd sextuplet unit right after Car and Guest. This unit will be available later at 12:00 midnight for purchase! Sadly since this is a sextuplet unit, the most likely way you'll get this unit is through buying a diamond pack.
The events in this unit is from Chapter 6: Ray of Light from the Denki Mystery Attraction, Akatsuka Mansion (Winter variant). The sextuplets and Dayoko are at the foot of Twin Peaks for Dayoko's wedding when suddenly a ray of light shines from from the top of the mountain. Chorosuke starts to float up because he isn't wearing the blazer that is protected by the "Matsuno" charm. Hajime and Karatsugu (who brought a spare blazer) are able to help him put it on but when everything seems to calm down he suddenly notices Dayoko, his sister, is no longer around.
Mod note: I didn't expect them to drop a Denki unit today!? Also he isnt reference to in the Event Story but apparently Dayoko's husband, Dekapan is also there?
