Local Business Champion: Poised Beast

Meet Christopher McCormick, founder of Poised Beast.

Father and son duo have built the ultimate LEGO legacy!

Why did you start this business? When we started Poised_Beast it was just meant to be a record of cool projects that my son and I had made/built… then the overwhelming response to our builds took off! I started an LLC to attempt to capitalize on the new brand of poised_beast. We haven’t made a dime… but we’re hopeful. "

What is your best-selling product?: Who we are… the brand of @poised_beast We haven’t sold anything yet… But we’re trying!

Have any local businesses helped you out?: I immediately think of 4 local businesses that I appreciate and support: Arch & Bloom near me in the Pemberwick area.. Their Halloween, Christmas, and other displays are IMHO on par with the magic you see ant the 34th StMacy’s Christmas windows (and others). They are a MUST SEE!…and Steven Fox Jewelry. Many years ago I helped design, build, and install a custom animated holiday window display for Steven (theme was a circus and the performers were all foxes). And more recently I almost did another design for Steven… but my time constraints being a single Dad made it impossible… so, had to decline.

Both of these businesses truly appreciate the power and necessity of magic and wonder. They both deserve accolades.
The 2 other businesses I support are none other than Glenville Pizza and Val’s Wines, Spirits, & Crafts. I know both of the owners.

As Christopher’s gofundme page states:
My name is Christopher McCormick, and I’m a single dad with a BIG dream—and a whole lot of Duplo bricks! Together with my 8-year-old son, we run Poised_Beast, a father-son duo building massive, mind-blowing Duplo sculptures that spark creativity and bring joy to kids and families everywhere. Check out our Instagram and TikTok accounts (we don’t currently make any $ from our accounts).

From towering St Patrick’s Day rainbows ending in a pot of gold, to full-scale fireplaces, our builds aren’t just about stacking bricks—they’re about pushing limits, inspiring imagination, and creating moments of wonder. Over the past two years, we’ve grown an amazing community of 13,000+ fans on TikTok and Instagram, and one of our videos even went viral with over 300,000 views!
