Mathmos Telstar Legs/Fins

[Sedated]

I own a Telstar, I have had it since around 1997.
The legs on it are fastened by just been slid through the holes in the base. They can become loose when handled. In some cases fall clean out of their socket.
Ive also seen other telstars where the legs bolt on with a screw in each leg. I think these are the ones with coloured caps and bases, as in the picture?
I think Ive also seen a silver one with bolt on legs, maybe originally thats how they were made?
Ive now seen a photo of a telstar where the legs are fastened differently to the 2 versions previously mentioned.
Can anyone tell me if the 3rd picture is of a new version of the Telstar? If it is have they made the legs more secure?
