Where does the name Figuya come from?
Jessica came up with the name "Figuya" years ago, when she started collecting anime figures herself. The inspiration was the Japanese word for "figure", borrowed from English.
It's written in Katakana as フィギュア and pronounced "Figyua". The "Ya" at the end means "shop", and so Jessica created the name Figuya: literally "the shop for figures"!
We started with figures, but our range now covers merchandise from Japanese and Western licences too.
