Do I have to open a Moc G2 because it is sweating in her bubble or is it ok  to leave it alone, no future damage risk leaving it there?

I'm not sure, but if you're worried I'd suggest heating up a needle under a flame and gently and cautiously poking it in a not-very-visible part of the plastic so it can breathe. I've never had this happen, it's just my suggestion! I'm no expert on this , sorry.

Looks like plasticizer leaking. I agree with pinkie pony on the needle method. I've done it with a few of my g2s who are leaking. Hold the package upright and look down from the top and poke 2 there and the bottom.

Also storing or displaying in a cool dry area helps to slow the process down a little.

I'm not sure there is actually a way to control plastisizier leaking. I'm under the impression that it will happen in or out of the box.

Yes slug you are right on that! There are many methods though to try to slow it down! Washing with soap and water, to baking powder or baby powder to air drying to boiling, i have heard it all, but I think it's inevitable and all these tips just help to either slow it down, or clean it up.

The thing to remember is the bubble is not vacuum sealed - there is air getting in there at the moment. In fact if there was no air getting in there right now...the plastic may not even have been breaking down at all. There will be no value in letting more air into breath unfortunately, as others have said the plastic is not sweating just doing what it would be doing if it were out in the open...but you would not notice the liquid as it would evaporate or just gather sticky on the pony.

Neither of them are particularly hard to find G2s; neither of them are very expensive MOCs. I would say if you want to let them out and treat them. If you dont then dont worry too much about it and just enjoy them as they are.
