A Day in the Park with Barney | 1995-2021 | This BJ costume is similar to the BJ costume used in the TV series, but the cheeks are rounder and chubbier, and the legs are taller and thinner to account for variable performer heights and weights.
This costume pictured particularly above more so resembles the one used in the home videos from 1996 up until mid-Season 4. The one pictured below has a resemblance to the used for 1995 and Seasons 7-14. BJ’s eyes are larger, his cheeks are chubbier, his legs are taller and the soles of the shoes are thicker. | |
Baniwa Chingudeul | 2001-2003 | This BJ costume was used in the Korean production of Barney & Friends.
The legs are taller. In addition, the head somewhat resembles the one from Barney's Musical Castle, but the eyes are wider, the pupils are slightly smaller, and the snout is more portrudent and narrow, and the head in general is wider. The spots, as well as BJ's yellow color and belly are darker and overall much more muted, due to the way the production was filmed. The hat structure is similar to Seasons 12-13's, but the brim is more indented and the three hairs are larger. | |
A Grande Surpresa de Barney | 2004-2010 | This costume is very similar to the costume used in Barney's Christmas Star. The legs are shorter and the eyes are a bit smaller. The frill on top is taller as well. This costume was mostly used for live shows in Latin America and Brazil around the same time. Shows that used this costume include El Parque Musical de Barney y sus Amigos, Barney's Big Surprise, Barney's Colorful World, Barney's Musical Castle, Barney Rocks! El Concierto en Vivo!, Barney's Space Adventures, and Una Tarde con Barney y Sus Amigos. | |
Barney's Christmas Star | 2004-2016 | This costume is similar to the 1997 costume, but the legs are longer. This costume was mostly used for live shows in Asia and the Middle East around the same time.
It also shares a resemblance to the costume used in the Korean co-production | |
Barney Live! - The Let's Go Tour | 2007-present | This BJ costume was made in Malta for the European tour of "Barney Live - The Let's Go Tour." It is still used for certain sing-along shows in the UK. The main difference in this suit is the wide, almost bulging cheeks combined with much smaller eyes. | |
Barney Live in Concert - Birthday Bash! | November-Early December 2010 | The first BJ costume made by VEE Corporation's Costumes and Creatures department. Like the other characters in this show, BJ's costume is based on the cartoon artwork rather than the TV show's costume. His eyes are much smaller and wider, and his frill is rounder. | |
Late December 2010-December 2011 |
VEE touched up the BJ costume during a hiatus in December. BJ's hair was resculpted to match the TV show's costume. Other than that, the costume remains the same. | ||
Barney In Ghana | 2013-2014 | This costume was used in Barney in Ghana. The costume is slightly taller, but often suffers from leg construction that can sometimes render the costume performer's actual legs visible. | |
Barney Live! World Tour - A Celebration | 2015 | This costume is a built on the same structure as the one used for Barney Live! The Let's Go Tour in Abu Dhabi and Malta. The legs are thinner on this costume and the mouth and head are much wider. BJ's eyes are almost entirely black, and his eyelids are thinner than usual. His shoes are long and flat. | |
Barney's We're All Friends Show | 2015 | This costume was used for Puteri Harbour in Malaysia. The head structure is flat, similar to previous costumes. The snout is smaller and BJ's hairs are portrudent. |
