Andrea figures are normally about as close to gap free as you can get with multipart metal/resin. I have put together a bunch over the years (including the dragon rider which this dragon appears to be based on) and they fit well enough that a gap filling glue would take care of things.
When a miscast does pop up - they replace it without any hassles.

The weird loopy lines around the face; the mismatched stuck-on horns and spikes; the weird weight and balance; the clunky legs and clunky claws, the wrinkly skin that wrinkles in no way I've seen real skin wrinkle; even the wobbly lips and snaggly teeth. It all looks bizarrely familiar.
