Artist Proofs are samples you get from the factory to check quality. They are unnumbered and not part of the production run. They generally are slightly better quality as the factory is trying to impress you with these.
I usually request 10-20 which is kind of low. I know other companies will sometimes do far more than that.
Some are kept for personal collection (I keep two of everything). Some are given to the Licensor (Marvel, Capcom, etc) Some are given to the artists who sculpted/painted the statues. Some are used to replace broken/damaged pieces.
If 6 months go by and I still have extras left I will usually sell them off as my space is limited.
