A few minutes ago they updated the character interface, here are some photos of how it currently looks.
Bodies, swords, and shields are now styled in the same way as the head list.
It also displays GIF's as well:
The new sections remember the last swords and shields that you have used, so if you change your shield a few times and open up the shields menu the ones you have previously used will display there.
Any private/public swords/shields you upload as of today will also be stored on the list permanently, but any private/public swords/shields uploaded in the past will not.
