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.
