- Barney went through many looks and faces through the years. Over one hundred Barney costumes were built over the course of thirty plus years. Why did Barney change so much and where are the costumes today? In episode two of Live From Barney's Couch! I tackle those exact questions.
See what I've collected over the past month! Rarities include an exclusive cow boy Barney plush doll, a Barney's Great Adventure Watch, jumbo BJ plush doll, tour merch, and more!

I was really sad to see how the original Barney costume deteriorated from mall use, but you're so right, Andrew, after heat and too much moisture from sweating, the foam "dies," it literally crumbles into hard bits. The news about the molded heads was really interesting, thanks for sharing all of that history. ❤️
They really did use that costume as long as they could, there was a real shortage of costumes back when they were promoting the first videos. It would have been nice to have seen them adopt Phyllis's costume to give the original costume a break!
@@barney_builder After hearing your explanation of the history, I think they probably really didn't expect it to take off like it did. I mean, that first costume was very expensive when you consider how they had to take Barney apart after nearly finishing him plus the cost of my design changes and involvement? I worked for many days developing the whole persona including props and Barney outfits and trips to Irene's? My per diem wasn't cheap. Did Irene contract for a set cost? If so, she probably lost money on that first build. Then Lyons Group paid Phyllis and then the threat of lawsuits? It was a mess, huh?
But your research is impeccable, Andrew, and I really appreciated the history after I was no longer involved in the project. Barney was destined to thrive and had a huge impact on so many young lives. The foundational groundwork for Barney was good and honorable and like I said before, I believe I was supernaturally protected from all the uncomfortable stuff even though some tried to take credit for things they didn't do, I never had to worry about getting sued, did I?😊

This video was awesome! I didn’t realize the same mold was used for most of the costumes. It makes senses that they all look slightly different as time goes on, I mean you can’t 100% replicate anything.
Puppets are especially hard to replicate!!
@@purity2706 They sure are.

Gotta get that smoke detector battery changed my man.
I thought it was my smoke detector for half of the video
the photos paired with the narration is immaculate
i swear each video is better and better 🤩
Thank you!
HEDGEEEEEEEE YOU REPLIED TO MY COMMENT ON THE HOW BATBYG WAS ABANDONED
Heheheheh
Kiwieieiieieieiieeiididiksbbehhudjddhd
In my imagination I could see everything being kept in some big warehouse somewhere. I just wish there was a way to know for sure what's out there. I would assume Sheryl Leach, Kathy Parker, and Dennis DeShazer have some stuff. Like I imagine they have some of the Barney og Barney dolls used on the show. One of them must have a Barney Bag. I hope Stella's door is still around. Perhaps we might get to see some stuff in the upcoming Barney doc!
You're really lookin like a member of The Beach Boys in this video lmao.
I used to work at Universal Orlando, and working with the Barney costumes was the best experience of my life. I got to see every thing about Barney inside and outside. And yes they do get incinerated once they’re retired.
They burned the costumes?
@@trewashington787 Yes unfortunately they do.
@@spiderdorf7849 did they do the same with the other costumes like crash bandicoot and Natasha?
@@trewashington787 yep every costume that gets decommissioned gets incinerated, sometimes if the character might come back they leave 1 costume alive for reference or special appearances.
@@spiderdorf7849 every tried to ask them not to burn them?
This is a very interesting episode of Live From Barney's Couch. i like this one a lot.
I never knew what happened to the original Barney costumes until now.
I’ve worked at Universal Orlando and was placed in the old Barney trailer. I always wondered where the costumes went. I wonder if they were destroyed or sent to the companies making appearances to this day.
I spoke with an entertainment manager from Universal Orlando shortly after the attraction closed. He said that the suits would be surrendered to Mattel. Judging by how those costumes were looking by the end of the attraction's life, they well past their prime. I suspect that they were just destroyed as there was really no more use for them.
@@barney_builder This attraction was replaced by Dreamworks Destination.
@@barney_builder so the costumes were taken by Mattel?
Loved Barney since my pre school days and learned so much from this video! Thank you 🙏 💯
Oh and love ur collection 💯
This video is almost a year old and my guess is that Mattel is going to discard the 2009 Barney suit if they have not already. You should contact them to see if they would be willing to let you add it to your collection. How does that sound?
Next episode on about the Barney plushes? And maybe a slide show on showing some rare pictures? 💜💚💛
They so recreation some of the original costumes and but them in a museum to show of the history of barney.
Incredibly informative and well-put together as always. Thank you for sharing more history with us!
You need to change your smoke alarm battery, other than that, great video.
11:59 is there more to this picture? Or does it just cut off the head? I love seeing archive pictures of 1988 Barney
I just turned 26!! But growing up barney was a huge part of my life. I think it’s part of the reason why I love music.
I love finding out behind the scenes facts so to speak about my favorite shows/movies. So it’s really cool that all this info is coming out about Barney. ❤️
So glad there has been videos like this I've totally been a fan of not just the Barney franchise itself but his look as a whole especially his design in season 3 and the later seasons by lyrick studios and HiT entertainment with the refreshed polished lighter and energetic look it's just so recognizable and colorful to people it's kinda the same how I feel about other family friendly reptilian characters like yoshi from Super Mario
Pretty good history on the Barney costumes on Barney's couch my favorite particular suit for Barney the dinosaur would have to be season 13 because of the connected feet and what's interesting that this is specially made for, Carery Stinson and speaking of the Jerry Franklin retirement party in 2019 the only footage are the photos and one video where Barney is singing I love you and that's just it no one recorded the entire thing at the very least I'm literally thankful that a couple of Barney costumes are sticking around a little bit longer unlike the other three or four from Barney in the backyard gang and Barney and Friends. Really nice stuff that you got and I have never seen the Barney sippy cups before and even the watch itself and I'm really surprised that you got the 1995 Barney bag maybe someday in future I would have the same thing if the prices don't go over the top on eBay and to provide a reason to put all of my cardboard because I do Customs for another one of my favorite franchises overall pretty good history on the Barney costumes and the stuff that you got.
i'll have to get to watching this later - but any new photos of pre-pbs barney are always a treat to see! love to see more photos of the icda spandex suit (surprised it seems you didnt bring up the harris costumes effort, but perhaps that's another topic for another video)
I feel like they should have sold/donated the costumes to a museum like Jim Henson's family did with the original Muppets, Barney and friends is one of the most famous and popular children's series and it's hard to believe they decided to destroy the costumes instead of leaving them in some museum,So many years thinking that the costumes were kept by Sheryl Leach somewhere in her house or that they were stored in some cellar of the studios where they filmed the series Because making a suit is not cheap, I would like to know where you got the information about the suits being destroyed :(
The reason so many costumes were destroyed was to protect copyright, Irene was obsessive about that and Barney was an easy live-sized puppet to create patterns from. I have the pattern from the Barney of the first three Backyard Gang videos, because I had my costumer make a paper pattern with muslin pinnings. I had learned the hard way from a previous children's puppet show, that unless you lock them up in closets, puppets are too often stolen, as was the case of a large dog puppet I made. In that case we stored the puppet in the studio and when we returned to video more installments, the puppet had disappeared. So I never made puppets again that I did not create a pattern for safety sake. My Barney pattern is in storage along with some other things I want to excavate!! 😂
@@purity2706 I understand that it was to protect Barney but what I do not understand is because they did not sell the costumes to some museum of television programs to some country such as England since in that country there are museums with the costumes of very important shows like the teletubbies, Barney is a very important character in television and costumes, scenarios and the Scripts are important in his story, I don't 100% believe that the suits are destroyed Since Irene knows how important Barney is, not even Jim Henson's family has done things like that with big bird
@@Diamondroosee Irene sued a lot of people especially costume shops to prevent them from infringing upon her "property", which is totally understandable, as you said. But the problem was? She didn't actually design Barney, I did, and her niece, Suzanne Lockridge built him in Irene's shop. She turned the Barney costumes into a very lucrative business, selling the "franchise" of the costumes overseas for a lot of money. Since she really didn't design him, at least, not the first one (Backyard Gang) I can only surmise that she was trying to isolate the opportunity for costume shops and appearance venues to create their own costumes for commercial use. I actually don't believe Irene really cared about Barney as an icon, but he did afford her a very good business. Suzanne, on the other hand, was invested in Barney's character. Besides, if I had caught wind of what she was doing and how she was affecting other businesses, I had the materials and proof that could have been very undesirable for her reputation. But, as things turned out, I was essentially shut out by her very aggressive marketing. No one even knew I existed. It wasn't until PBS took on the project and she completely changed his look and color, that she could legitimately say she designed THAT Barney. And, in fact, after she built the new Barneys, she began to claim designer rights. Irene did not do that online or in publications until that happened. But someone made sure my name was never mentioned even during the videos after the first three. Besides she had a contract, I never did. When I designed Moonkin, I made sure to retain the rights to him. Because Irene sort of felt Barney was unimportant upon my conception of him (and her workshop was very small) there was no reason to keep the worn-out versions. And like I said before, foam-bodied life-sized puppets disintegrate pretty quickly.
Wow! That’s amazing, Andrew.
I loved it! Thanks for all your research!
So crazy to think about how each costume was different. Even the actor inside the suit got the ultimate workout from it. The history of costumed characters have changed so much over the years. Those first 2 costumes I heard stories of how uncomfortable it was even with the kids hugging him. Crazy.
The sweat..... that literally reminded me of what happened with Bert Lahr with his Cowardly Lion costume during the making of The Wizard of Oz. That costume was actually made from a real lion's body. It really hot and heavy. At the end of filming, the whole inside of the costume would feel like being inside a wet mattress. There were no double costumes. Bert Lahr would have to be inside that gross lion costume every day,
Question to ask you, have you ever looked at VStar's Barney costumes back in 2010? They based off from the cartoon image than the TV show's costumes.
Can you do a Barney history video about the voice actors of Barney and how his voice evolves over the years staring his first voice actor Bob West from 1988 to 2000 please.
You should check if there's a battery in that watch. Take it out so it doesn't corrode.
Do you know if there will be any changes to the barney costume in the new movie that's being produced?
Omg your amazing I’ve been doing a lot of research for years on this history from the story’s to how it was made to the pictures 🤣
Aww yes good old Barney, I remember watching Barney as a kid, I bet things have changed when I haven't Watched the show
Barney was awesome
i don't know if its a good idea but i want to know the history of the first three barney books and cassettes and how come bob west didn't voice barney on the cassettes but a lady
Can You Find Out Where Is The One From The Universal Attraction?
Can you do the history of the Barney dolls?
I’m just curious and wanted to ask you this. Did you watch the Barney documentary on Peacock?
I’m in the documentary on Peacock!
@@barney_builder Oh nice!

Was there any unreleased barney archives that came from backyard gang like our friend barney the backyard gang sleepover?
Is there a front facing view of the evil twin?
Where i can buy this barney teddy i want it
Does the 1991 barney costume still exist?
No-all of those costumes were destroyed.
@@barney_builder I found a image online from a auction site of a estate sale of what seems to be irene corey's workshop and home,there was one image of a photo album that shows images that are already online,but there was one image of the barney costume from 1990(with no arms,and in a mild state of disrepair) and on the table in the background was the chopped up pieces of the first costume with its eyes missing but its head was still intact,do you have a hight quality version of this image?
Pre-1992 (1:00-4:49)

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
I would have loved to see some of the original Barney costumes being displayed in the Smithsonian. By now, Barney & Friends has become one of the most iconic and influential preschool kids shows of all time, right up there with Sesame Street and Mister Rogers and it deserves to have it’s history preserved through its costumes and props and little set pieces and trinkets and get the same treatments as it’s predecessors and contemporaries.
Aka disintegrated.

What bullshit, destroying them cause it might hurt your investment? Birthday parties aren't taking money from them.
