The Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo went to the image-sharing site, Instagram wherein he lauded a Pinoy toymaker who use recycled “tsinelas” or rubber slippers in making action figures.
“Believe it or not, this #Hulk doll is made out of recycled tsinelas (that’s Tagalog for flip-flops),” said the 49-year-old actor who plays The Hulk in the Avengers franchise.
“Not only is this inventively creative, but it’s sustainable and just pure awesome!” he said lauding Elmer Padilla, a Cavite-based toymaker who repurposes used flip-flops into action figures.
