The toy assembly has a body (12) that can be selectively configured between an expanded shape and a compressed shape. The body (12) is comprised of a plurality of arcuate sections (14). At least one biasing element (42) is provided for biasing the arcuate sections into their expanded shape. A suction cup (40) is disposed in the body at a first end of the body. A flat surface (44) is disposed in the body at a second opposite end. The suction cup (40) engages the flat surface (44) only when the body is collapsed into its compressed shape. A vent valve assembly (50) is provided for venting air between the flat surface (44) and the suction cup (40). The suction cup (40) releases the flat surface (44) when enough air flows into the suction cup (40) to equalize pressure. Accordingly, a person can selectively control the length of time that the body remains in its compressed shape.
