Appleseed is a manga (comic) work by Masamune Shirow that was adapted into a single 1 hour animation years ago, then updated into new CG movies (2 so far). Shirow is one of the top artists in Japan (at least talking about comics) and is more famous for his later work - Ghost in the Shell, which also started as a book and became animation. The only problem with Shirow's work is that there isn't enough of it - projects are few and far between, but they are well worth the wait.
An "appleseed kit" is an action figure made by the company HotToys (they rock most of the time) out of Hong Kong. The figures are fully articulated and need to be put together when you first buy them. They're pre-painted, so it's not really a "kit" if you really get into models, they're just a "some assembly required" toy.
one of the better fan sites out there (but no longer updated)
