Turning transform copies into individual vectors?

I am using the transform effect to replicate a shape multiple times (around a circle). When this happens they are all 'mirrors' to the original and the original is the only editable shape.

Now that I have them in the correct position, is there a way to covert them to indiviual vectors that I can manipulate separately ?

Hey. i am also in the same dilemma. Your suggestion would only works if those shapes are filled or using a brush. What about some shapes created using blob brush and there is no fill but only strokes. I want to edit the completed work. Is there any other ways ??? TIA

Please show a screenshot of your artwork that includes the Appearance panel (the onw in Window > Appearance) and the Layers panel.
