How confident are you a 100g toy pulled through a turbofan or propeller won’t mess it up?
Sure, if it stays inside your house, quite confident.
I’m quite confident the only thing other than air a turbofan or aircraft propeller is designed to cope with is rain / fog / cloud.
Edit to add: looks like the toys you mentioned are around 30g. I stand by my point though.

Jet engines and aircraft windshields are particularly vulnerable to damage from such strikes Definitely one of my all-time favourite things to watch are videos of said chicken cannons ;) Turbofans are designed to cope with bird strikes in the the-end-didn’t-fly-apart-and-fatally-damage-the-aircraft sense of cope.
