Now, Barney is performed by David Joyner, who implemented the "bite bar" method, which is the costume performer biting down on a bar padded with a sponge attached to the inside of Barney's bottom jaw to nod his head, while giving access to both arms of the costume to move simultaneously. His feet are given a redesign, appearing boxier, allowing for better movement for the actor inside, and the top of his head is lifted even more.

Due to the fabric of the foam, it made the costume not pleasant to touch, which made it have the same feeling as sandpaper, as described by Brian Eppes, the actor of " Michael", in Purple Tales Podcast. Resembling more of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the body was made with reticulated foam and sprayed with a royal purple dye. Dubbed as the "blue dog" costume, and internally dubbed as B-001, this is Barney's first design, which is a far departure from later Barney designs.
