This invention provides a resilient, moulded figure, intended for fun and/or decoration, which can be temporarily stuck, by means of a sucker, to flat surfaces such as window panes, refrigerator doors, bathroom tiles, children's blackboards, etc., and aims to address particularly, with children's safety in mind, the security with which the sucker is attached to the figure. Utilising moulding techniques requiring the sequential application of resilient plastics material to a mould, front and rear-facing surfaces of the figure are formed, and the rear-facing surface is attached adhesively to a tubular sleeve of resilient material which has a portion dimensioned to closely surround a relatively narrow neck portion, disposed between the active area of a sucker and a bulbous end portion of the sucker, which end portion is accommodated by another portion of the sleeve. The sleeve is adhesively secured to the rear-facing surface of the figure; the sucker being anchored to the figure, by entrapment of its bulbous portion within the sleeve, such that the active area of the sucker faces away from the figure. The bulbous end portion of the sucker is preferably also made directly adherent to the rear-facing surface of the figure.
