Blockbuster Video

Barney at Blockbuster — Promotional Barney dolls at Blockbuster.

Blockbuster Video was a video rental store. Barney Home Videos and other Barney merchandise were sold by the store until its closure in 2014.

History[]

Barney[]

In 1990, Blockbuster Video partnered with The Lyons Group to host The Barney National Talent Search for the then upcoming Barney & The Backyard Gang video, Barney Goes To School.

There were several Barney Home Videos that included exclusive dolls for sale as part of a holiday promotion in 1995 available at the chain under the "Kidmongous" line. These specials were released from 1998 until 2003, though Blockbuster had previously sold non-exclusive Barney videos before that and continued to do so until its closure.
