A major modification of the Barney in Concert suit. The costume for this season began the current method of controlling Barney (the performer bites down on a rod attached to the inside of the lower jaw, and nods his head to move it). This version of the suit includes a blinking mechanism. The bottom of Barney's stomach comes to a triangular point at the bottom, matching up with the seams at the top of the hips. The body also is rounder. In some episodes, his voice sounds similar to his BYG voice.
