Barney Rubble is a LEGO Ideas minifigure introduced in 2019 under the The Flintstones theme.
Background[]
Barnabus Matthew "Barney" Rubble is the best friend of Fred Flintstone. He is married to Betty Rubble, with whom he adopted their son, Bamm-Bamm.
Barney's interests included bowling, playing pool, poker, tinkering around in Fred's garage, and playing golf. He, like Fred, was also a member of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes lodge and its predecessor, the Loyal Order of Dinosaurs. He is also a talented pianist and drummer. He also was an inventor of a human-powered helicopter. Although clearly depicted as being in better shape than Fred, he is not shown to be quite as enthusiastic a sportsman as Fred is. This distinction can be attributed to Fred's fondness for food, though Barney is shown to be almost as capable of excessive appetite on a number of occasions.
Notes[]
- He has the same hairpiece as Emmet from The LEGO Movie but in yellow.
- He is played by the late Mel Blanc, who's known for voicing Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters.
