Yes, those talismans were introduced during the Treasure Island update, back in September. It is a little unusual that they have not been added to the game in more ways since. When the super charged talismans were first introduced (the diamond horseshoe, Treasure Map, Scroll of Wisdom and Angle Wings) with the Valentines Update, they were just like these new talismans now - just added to the shop with no real announcment about them or game integration (from quests etc.). The only way to get them was to pay with crystals. But then the Tavern Update was released and started using them, making them rewards for combining collections from the Tavern picture. But there has been 2 whole updates since these friend related talismans have been introduced to the shop and they have yet to be added to the game in a more substantial way (as rewards for combining collections etc.), which is a little surprising. It might be because they are so similar in function to the once off atefacts that you win when doing holiday timed challenges (except they don't last 24 hours like those). Maybe the game developers want to keep them rare that way to encourage people to buy them. Honestly though, I think people would have been more likely to buy the Diamond horseshoe etc. ones as they are very powerful.
