Astute reader Martin Hendrick points out that Hasbro's new Rabé: Queen's Chambers figure has been listed on some of the recently released '05 card backs under two different names; Rabé and Dormé. At this time it's unknown if this is an error, or if Hasbro plans to offer alternate head sculpts with each version, different card imagery, or any of the other handmaidens (Padmé, Yané, Saché, Eirtaé, or Sabé), though many fans and collectors would certainly appreciate the effort. As more information surfaces about the situation, we'll be sure to keep you posted.
An interesting note; though listed on the card back as coming from The Phantom Menace, Dormé was actually 'Senator' Amidala's handmaiden in Attack of the Clones, and technically never appeared in the Episode I "flame" gown. While this wouldn't be the first time Hasbro has taken a little creative license with the toy line, this could also be an indication the alternate name is indeed an error. We simply won't know for sure until more information is announced.
