You’re no one. You’re nothing.“

Arya Stark Full Costume
Depending on the price (they fluctuate) or availability, it might just be easier to get the full outfit at once. (Boots still needed of course.)
Arya Stark Is LEFT Handed
If you’re not going to be waving their sword around all night it doesn’t really matter. But to the hardcore cosplayer who wants to keep it real, you should be aware of this. Even if you still choose to go right handed. And if you do want to wave your sword around, do what’s comfortable for you. We just wanted to put it out there.
Needle
“It’s just a stupid sword,” she said, aloud this time…
… but it wasn’t.
Needle was Robb and Bran and Rickon, her mother and her father, even Sansa. Needle was Winterfell’s grey walls, and the laughter of its people. Needle was the summer snows, Old Nan’s stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room. Needle was Jon Snow’s smile.”
– George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows
Season 1 Episode 01
“Winter Is Coming”
Jon Snow gives Arya a present before he leaves Winterfell for the Wall.
Like Jon Snow and Ned Stark’s weapons of choice, Arya’s sword has significance to the story. Unlike Jon and Ned’s sword replicas, the remake of Needle is quite expensive.
The difference is that it’s limited edition (only 2500 made) and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by George R.R. Martin himself.
If you’re a die-hard collector, you might want to check it out. But realistically speaking for the rest of us, we’ll just have to find an alternative version until they make a less exclusive version of the sword.
Good News!
There is now a more reasonably priced version which you can find on the “standard version” button
