It’s only a matter of time till we commit our next crime. And this one, we swear... will be our last.” (Gossip Girl)

Here we go: My ideas on how Glenda acquired the prosthetics for Nica.
For @losersclubisms
So, here’s what I'm thinking, and we’re gonna need some further background on the twins for this (all my own headcanons). We know from 2x04 that both twins wanted to go into show business for a career but what I'm thinking is that where Glenda is a lot more confident and extroverted, Glen is a lot more introverted and shy so they both wanted to go into show business but different aspects of it. Glenda wanted to go into acting and performing whilst Glen was always more fascinated by the behind the scenes stuff, sets, special effects etc, with their main interests being mechanics and engineering that is done behind the scenes.
This brings us to the escape plan, since Glenda was the only one of the two who knew about Chucky being inside Nica and the plan to kill Tiffany, they were in charge of the technicalities of the escape whilst they asked Glen what they could do in terms of making the prosthetics for Nica. (Nica herself was the one to come up with the main plan, as we know from her saying “I have a plan if you’ll help me” when she first meets the twins and Fiona stated in an interview that Nica had known about Kyle since Cult and had the idea to contact her).
Originally, the plan was that Glen was going to get the prosthetics to Nica when they got her out of the room, but the new security system and the power going out threw things off course, so they had to text Glenda to get the prosthetics instead.
The prosthetics ended up not being the most ideal because A, there was only so much Glen could do in terms of getting the right materials and building the prosthetics without raising questions from people, and B, the risk of Tiffany or the guests finding out about them once they were at the house, hence why the prosthetics seem more robotic so Glen had the cover story of it being a school project.
In terms of money, we know that Glenda was in contact with Jennifer Tilly’s accountant. I believe that part of that would probably be that both twins claimed financial independence and took any and all money they were entitled to as soon as they were old enough, hence why they didn’t live with Tiffany. So that was how Glen was able to financially support the project.
With all that, I accept Luna’s idea of GG making Nica better prosthetics in Season 3 since the twins are ‘dead’ and Jennifer Tilly is on the run. They don’t have to worry about questions, since they will be hiding somewhere as the doll and any money spent will just be assumed to be Jennifer where she is still on the run, leaving GG free to make proper prosthetics for Nica, with opposable thumbs.
