So my assumption is the figures must be vital data filled figures. If they're just diagramatic ones (fig 1 type) that are similar amongst articles from the same group on thr same line of work then it's probably plagiarism by the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law.

Even figures with images are typically assembled in Illustrator.

You past in the image of your cells or western blot or whatever, and then add all the labels etc.
