An object, which can be used as an advertising item, promotional item, toy, or decorative figure, is segmented into at least two portions which are mounted in an aligned fashion on opposing sides of a surface so that the object appears to be extending through the surface. The object is provided in the shape of a commercial product to be advertised, or in the shape of a creature, such as animal or insect, or in the shape of holiday character, such as Santa Clause or a Halloween bat. The object is attached to the surface using suction cups which are mounted within the hollow interior of the object, so that when the object is mounted to the surface in an aligned fashion, the suction cups are not seen by viewer. The individual portions of the segmented object can be also be attached directly to each other to form a complete toy which can be played with in a traditional manner.
