From my brief research, afigura appears to be Portuguese, while figura is Spanish.
Here is a link to a Portuguese newspaper article: notícias

Mexicans living in the countryside use to speak like that and I don't know what the reason is. Another example is "acuparse" instead of "ocuparse". Maybe is just a deformation of the language influenced in some way by an foreigner language as it's been said about Portuguese "afigurar".

I searched my Portuguese language book and couldn't realy find (a)figura. I think (a) article as in (the) feminine has been scooted to far to the right. I'll keep searching.

See the link to a Portuguese newspaper article that I added to my answer. You may need to find the Poruguese verb infinitive. - waltico, Jun 8, 2010
