one end was already broken tape so i took out the batteries out of the battery powered action sound box and replaced with new batteries then put some tape where the original tape was to keep it shut - so the try me area for the sound box works!. it makes all kinds of sound effects and catch phrases. Sting is sealed and this set has not been taken out of the box. it is new condition. the box is in great shape and displays very well. this is a rare K Mart exclusive WCW item from 1998
