Believe it or not, this #Hulk doll is made out of recycled tsinelas (that’s tagalog for flip-flops). Elmer Padilla made this for me so I just wanted to give a nice shoutout. Not only is this inventively creative, but it’s sustainable and just pure awesome! Thank you Elmer! pic.twitter.com/JiA4E91LjZ

Ruffalo lauded Padilla’s effort by giving him a “shout out” in his official Twitter page. He also said Padilla’s craft is “sustainable.”
“Elmer Padilla made this for me so I just wanted to give a nice shoutout. Not only is this inventively creative, but it’s sustainable and just pure awesome! Thank you Elmer!” tweeted Ruffalo.
