Professor Tinkerputt with Barney, Baby Bop, and BJ

Professor Tinkerputt is a toy inventor, who became friends with Barney and the kids. Professor Tinkerputt used to live on Imagination Island, so that he didn't have to share his creations with anybody. In the same special, Barney and his friends show him that it is nice to share with other people. Having just learned this, Professor Tinkerputt helps them out on their situation about their stuck ship. After everyone leaves, he takes the ship to his new toy factory, which he shows off in Barney's Big Surprise. In Barney's Big Surprise, BJ guesses that Professor Tinkerputt was giving BJ a red scooter for his 7th birthday, but instead, Barney and Baby Bop gave it to him.
