ABOUT MARV MURCHINS:
Marv Murchins, portrayed by Daniel Stern, is one half of the comedic criminal duo known as the Wet Bandits. He is characterized by his goofy demeanor and clumsiness, often serving as the foil to his more assertive partner, Harry. Marv’s lack of intelligence leads to a series of mishaps as he attempts to break into the McCallister home.Β
1. COATΒ – The first accessory you will need for a festive Marv Murchins cosplay is an oversized brown pea coat.
2. SWEATER – Next, you will also want a retro-style cardigan in mustard yellow and maroon.
3. JEANS – And a pair of baggy or loose-fitting denim jeans in dark grey.
4. GLOVES – A pair of fingerless, green-knitted gloves is also an absolute must.
5. FOOTWEAR – Your choice of footwear is really up to you, grey, black, or brown shows will all work just fine.
6. FACEPAINT – Use a red or pink face paint to draw the mark left behind by Kevin’s iron.
7. CROWBAR – A crowbar is a must-have accessory for any house burglar looking for some easy Christmas pickings.
8. TOY SPIDER – Finish your look with a fake tarantula which can be stuck to your coat with double-sided adhesive.
