I just happened to watch a AllEars video in which she explained Wishables. Yes its for a good cause but there is a saying about the ends justifying things.
I know Disney is one huge media empire built on making you want more more more. That being said most things that they do I find fairly tame and putting out basic merchandise for movies and shows is a good idea. I would say limited numbered edition items do tread a line but for me are safe.
The reason I personally see this specific product as crossing the line is based on how it is packaged. It basically is meant to normalize gambling and provide that positive dopamine hit if a kids gets the one they prefer. This is also different than a present which is completely unknown for a child or a standard product which you know exactly what it being purchased.
Like I said just my opinion. If you find yourself in the middle on this look up Video Game Loot Boxes and you might start to feel different on these various products that have similar mechanisms. Who knows this may fall in to restricted areas in the future requiring you to be 18 or older to purchase.
