I am a 27 year old man and nothing has ever made me cry except watching Barney walk across the building. I don’t know why I teared up but this made me happy and nostalgic. I hope they bring him back for all the millennials 🥲
I’ve been a Barney fan since I was little and I’m still watch him and you are so lucky Andrew that you got to meet one of my bestest friends. Hopefully I will be able to meet Barney someday!
I guess that this OG Barney should make more public appearances in the future if Mattel plans more events and special news for the older fans aside from promoting Barney's World for newer fans, maybe one time we'll get to hear his voice again whenever it might be Bob, Duncan or Dean voicing him (or maybe a person who does a great impression of Barney)
Very exciting! Ordered myself a shirt and the plush keychain as soon as it launched. I hope they plan to take this booth to more conventions in 2024. Dallas Fan Expo June 2024 would make a lot of sense being Barney’s home town, and because that’s the annual con I go to. Lol. Exciting that there were a lot of people wanting to see him today. I hope this means more for us OG fans in the future. Just seeing this version of Barney back after so many years brought me to tears. Kinda wanna go watch all the Backyard Gang videos now.
so glad you finally got to meet barney in person i hope you do a new barney collection update video showing what you got and more lost barney media soon
fantastic so good to see Barney though I hope some day I'll see him again to make up from when I was supposed to see Barney but had to cancel my trip back in 2020 was robbed anyone could use a hug from Barney
Was going to leave a comment on your other video about the oldest costumes, but I’m glad this around to further back up what I’ve seen! Mattel seems bent on keeping at least a couple of these “nostalgic” designed suits in storage for press reasons. R&D going back to at least 2016 told the people in charge to save the costumes for adult-centric press events like this, and to keep the upcoming cartoon as “Barney for kids”, the same way they’ve been running other core brands since Ynon took over. Seemed like the original idea was to integrate whatever other HiT assets into Fisher-Price Core, but they really do believe Barney’s at the age and status it can carry it’s own weight as a brand, drawing direct parallels with American Girl and Masters of The Universe. Probably have said too much by now, but I am closely associated with Mattel to the extent I know these things about the Barney rebrand.
Makes sense, business wise. And all the HIT brands used to be managed under Fisher Price til at least 2016, so that tracks. Question - do you have any insight on the current state of the dino puppets? Or any further insight into the decision making by Mattel re the brand since they bought it in 2011?
Nice to see him looking like himself! Great stuff, Andrew!
Thank you!
@@barney_builder Barney hi

This time, he’s welcomed back with open arms!!!!!!
B
❤❤❤❤ Awesome! I love Barney very much
I was at this convention! It was great! I got to experience all of the fun things there. Hope you had a super-dee-duper time there as well!
THIS WAS SO GREAT, I'M TEARING UP JUST WATCHING YOU WITH THE LIFE-SIZE BARNEY!! He really looks great, such a cool trip!! Thank you for sharing this!❤
Truly, a dream come true! 💜💚💛
Awww, that was so wholesome Barney posed you for a photo! 💜💚💜💚
It was amazing that you got to spend time with Barney, Andrew, and it's an awesome experience. It would be really cool to be in Cons these days.
It’s So Great You Got To Meet Him! I’m So Happy For You! It Put A Huge Smile On My Face!! So Sweet!!
I’ve been a Barney fan since I was little and I’m still watch him and you are so lucky Andrew that you got to meet one of my bestest friends. Hopefully I will be able to meet Barney someday!
You're SO Lucky!!
I really wish I could do a Meet-and-Greet with Barney too (along with Baby Bop and BJ as well)!
I guess that this OG Barney should make more public appearances in the future if Mattel plans more events and special news for the older fans aside from promoting Barney's World for newer fans, maybe one time we'll get to hear his voice again whenever it might be Bob, Duncan or Dean voicing him (or maybe a person who does a great impression of Barney)
I would absolutely would doubt that this would be the case because I do want to meet the Barney that I grew up with so badly.
Or me
I love Barney so much!! Your very lucky to meet the dino dude himself!!! 💜💜💜 #welovebarney
Nice to see the costumes still intact after all these years
It's great to meet Barney

Dallas fan expo, what's that?
Barney is so immensely adorable there 🥰
I’m crying 😭 because I’m so happy that Barney is back
so glad you finally got to meet barney in person i hope you do a new barney collection update video showing what you got and more lost barney media soon
What a fantastic video. I'm glad you had fun. The footage looks amazing. Just watching this made me feel young again.
fantastic so good to see Barney though I hope some day I'll see him again to make up from when I was supposed to see Barney but had to cancel my trip back in 2020 was robbed anyone could use a hug from Barney
It’s amazing that Barney came back
You’re an outstanding RUclips channel.
so happy they brought out the old costume instead of the new one
This is Super-Dee-Duper!
There's now some hope that we may get a remaster of the original 6 seasons on Blu Ray or even Netflix. Maybe Shout! Factory 🙏
I was laughing my ass off when I found out that Lil Yachty was at this thing! 🤣
Barney’s back after all these years.
I love the barney logo
4:31 the way he was controlling you was so cute!! 😭😭
POV: Your name is the lucky man.
Hi, I'm Barney Builder and I met Barney in person.
I would lose my shït😂. Huge barney fan
It's your lucky day!
I can’t believe you have meet Barney 😮 and please send me Barney t-shirt
That so cool they should bring barney to Ireland they should bring back baby bop b j and riff
I'm so jealous right now😩😓😢...
Can this video make me feel like better on here in the morning barney builder
It's great to see Barney again, but I'm hoping and praying for Baby Bop and BJ to return!
BJ is now Billy they re named him
(Gasp) I knew that would come up to me! So I wonder if BJ will be his nickname.
Is this an adult Barney fanbase?
If so, thats awesome. No judgment
2:43 The past meets the future!
❤
I will buy
I wonder if you can upload the footage clip of Barney dancing in his dancing shoes 👞 with his top hat 🎩, bow tie, cuffs, and a dancing cane this year.
What if Barney comes to NWA comic con in Rogers, Arkansas or Missouri comic con in Springfield?
Have you got the plush Barney with the heart?
Yes!

Hey, do me a favor see if you can find the other Barney and friends from Korea because I love them so much
I went to see him at universal studios
That's awesome! I met Barney 2 times at Universal when I was 4 back in 2007, but I would've loved to do this.
I never got to meet Barney I hope I do someday(not the new one....)
What costume from the season and the episode
Modern Barney costume
Was that a new costume? Perhaps it was the costume from season 8?
Is that Carrey Stinson in the costume?
Idk
@@JC-othergreatstuffYou weren’t there. Of course you don’t know.
@@Nerdy_Chuck_E yeah I was not there. But, I will be in the next one very soon when I do know.
No, Carrey was not in the costume.
@@barney_builder thanks for the response
